Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Set in aristocratic France, this film is all about character, morality, and consequence, no evidence of modern identity politics or forced representation. The story unfolds around human failings rather than identity checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, tradition, and religion are central to the film, albeit depicted with the complexity and flaws of real life. There’s some critique of societal norms, but it stops short of attacking foundational values or glorifying upheaval.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores competing perspectives on morality, class, and love without straw-manning dissenters. There is a nuance and acceptance of pluralism absent from more recent, ideologically uniform works.
