What We Think

While ‘The Club’ isn’t obsessed with identity politics, it leans heavily on criticisms of traditional religion and authority, giving it a moderately high woke score. The narrative still centers on flawed characters and moral complexity more than trendy boxes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on disgraced priests exiled for their past abuses, prioritizing complex, flawed characters over checking identity boxes. There’s little evidence of casting or scripting driven by ideological quotas instead of fitting the story. Narrative tension arises naturally.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

‘The Club’ paints the Catholic Church and religious figures in a particularly dark light, focusing on themes of sin, hypocrisy, and institutional decay. Traditional religion and authority structures are mostly shown as sources of corruption without much balancing nuance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The film leans heavily into a critique of church authority and offers minimal space for the possibility of sincere faith or virtue within religious tradition. It steers clear of thoughtful representation of traditional viewpoints, leaving little room for pluralism.
