Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Armstrong Lie is a sports documentary focused on Lance Armstrong’s doping scandal. The film’s narrative sticks closely to the facts, emphasizing Armstrong’s personal story and downfall rather than leveraging identity politics or ideological points. There’s very little, if any, sign that character traits like gender, race, or sexuality override the film’s intent or realism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, religion, and traditional values are not a focus, nor are they undermined or subverted. The documentary concerns itself almost exclusively with the doping issue in professional cycling. There’s no noticeable attack on masculinity, religion, or broader cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is centered around the doping controversy, not modern ideological debates. Traditional perspectives or dissenting views are represented mainly as opinions about Armstrong’s guilt and cycling ethics, rather than wider cultural issues. No woke monoculture here to see.
