What We Think

'The Factory' is about as non-woke as thrillers get these days, focused on plot and human flaws rather than ideology. No forced representation, no lecture, just a tough crime story.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Factory' largely sticks to its gritty crime thriller roots, focusing on character motivation and suspense without overtly prioritizing identity factors or ticking diversity boxes. The narrative is driven by plot and tension, not ideological messaging, so it remains solidly non-woke in this regard.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes of family, justice, and personal morality are integral to the story, portrayed traditionally rather than subverted. Masculinity is central and treated seriously, and there’s no attempt to rewrite cultural or historical norms. There is very little to suggest a 'woke' agenda here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no caricatured portrayals of alternative viewpoints, and the film avoids modern ideological uniformity. Characters are allowed to be flawed without every moral decision filtered through a contemporary lens. Pluralism, such as it exists, is organic to the story’s genre and focus.
