Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Double Life of Véronique is a thematic and introspective film, deeply focused on identity and existential themes rather than political messaging. Characterization, plot, and atmosphere are driven by artistic vision rather than tick-box representation or ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is unconcerned with critiquing or undermining traditional cultural values, religion, family, and gender roles are not central themes. It’s more about personal experience and emotional resonance than any attempt at subversion or commentary on foundational cultural values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no discernible ideological monoculture at play. No modern social agenda, no heavy-handed messaging about gender, race, or morality; just a poetic, ambiguous story inviting multiple interpretations without preaching.
