What We Think

A hard-hitting look at bullying and social breakdown, “The Class” keeps its focus on character and circumstance, not identity or ideology. It’s about as non-woke as modern school dramas get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film tells a raw, character-driven story without obvious emphasis on identity politics. Characters are depicted with nuance and their traits, gender, race, etc., aren’t trumpeted above their individual circumstances. No forced representation or hyper-competent diverse characters in sight.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film portrays school violence, isolation, and bullying, it doesn't overtly attack traditional morality, religion, or the family. Instead, it explores the universal struggles of adolescence and society’s failure to protect the vulnerable.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The environment depicted shows a lack of ideological discussion entirely, but this is due to a focus on realism rather than imposing a single worldview. Bullies and victims are humanized; there’s no obvious caricatured villainy based on politics.
