What We Think

T2 Trainspotting keeps its focus on the gritty realism of its characters' lives rather than chasing any ideological trends. A few modern quips aside, it’s refreshingly non-woke compared to much of today’s cinema.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

T2 Trainspotting is much more concerned with character-driven storytelling and the existential crises of its returning cast than with ticking any diversity or ideological boxes. Identity characteristics aren't emphasized; the film remains centered on its flawed, mostly original male characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While not exactly a celebration of tradition, the film doesn’t actively mock religion or masculinity. Instead, it presents pretty unvarnished portrayals of male friendship and Scottish culture, warts and all, with a working-class, old-school outlook that even pokes fun at modern fads.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews do exist – the characters are anything but model citizens. The film is more interested in desperation and aging than in ideological messaging. It leans into harsh realism rather than promoting one moral worldview.
