What We Think

Tabu is an almost refreshingly non-woke entry in modern cinema, focused on human emotion over modern ideological checklists. There’s little agenda to be found; just old-fashioned, artful drama.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Tabu (2012) maintains strong narrative focus, exploring character flaws and complexities without shoehorning in identity politics. Its storytelling feels organic, centering on human drama and nostalgia over ideological messaging or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film approaches culture, family, and faith with a classical European sensibility, without mocking tradition or overwriting history for modern agendas. No obvious attempts to subvert gender roles or revise cultural narratives are present.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no sign of ideological groupthink here, characters are messy, imperfect, and certainly not mouthpieces for current moral fads. The film welcomes ambiguity and pluralism.
