In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Client List is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. It avoids most of the usual narrative and cultural pitfalls, staying true to character-driven storytelling rather than contemporary ideological trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a woman's struggle to provide for her family, with character arcs primarily driven by realistic circumstances rather than identity politics. There is little indication of forced representation or prioritizing ideology over storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, faith, and economic hardship are at the heart of the plot. While the film deals frankly with difficult choices, it doesn't seem to mock or undermine core cultural values, it even depicts family and perseverance as positives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no overt villainization of dissenting worldviews, and the film doesn’t paint traditional perspectives as cartoonish or evil. Multiple perspectives are given some space, with moral ambiguity present.
