What We Think

The Brothers Grimm is about as non-woke as Hollywood ever gets these days. It mostly lets the fairy tales, and the characters, do their thing, with little trace of modern ideological meddling. Perfect for those who prefer their films served straight, with just a touch of oddball fantasy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Brothers Grimm focuses on quirky, flawed male leads and traditional fairy tale adventure, rather than prioritizing identity politics or forced representation. Characters’ traits are driven by personality and narrative, and there’s little sign that casting or characterization was swayed by modern ideological concerns.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional motifs like family, folklore, and even religion are presented in a tongue-in-cheek but ultimately respectful way. Masculinity is not mocked, and there’s no pointed effort to subvert established gender roles or rewrite historic norms beyond the film's intended fantasy tone.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s worldview is more about escapism and parodying the fairy tale genre than promoting a single ideological viewpoint. There’s no strong bashing of dissent or alternative views, nor is there a heavy-handed ideological uniformity among the characters.
