What We Think

While The Class has shades of modern progressive themes, it’s mostly nuanced, focusing on real problems rather than ideological crusades. It’s far from the typical ‘woke’ overload, more social realism than lecture.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on the real challenges of a multi-ethnic Parisian classroom and doesn't feel like it's ticking diversity boxes just for the sake of it. Characters have flaws and real backgrounds, showing personality beyond identity. Ideology is present but not overpowering narratively.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional authority and family structures are questioned, but more as legitimate themes for debate than as targets for mockery. While some may interpret the depiction as undermining certain values, the film is more observational than preachy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, such as those supporting traditional discipline, aren't mocked, but they don’t get much of a sincere voice either. The film leans toward the progressive, but not to the cartoonish extremes Hollywood often delivers.
