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

A solidly non-woke Cold War thriller, 'The Falcon and the Snowman' is driven by story, not modern ideological themes. Its focus is drama and espionage rather than cultural posturing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Falcon and the Snowman' focuses on character and story over identity politics. Casting and development revolve around the Cold War espionage plot, not social agendas. Identity factors like race or gender are not central, and characters are flawed, with real consequences for their actions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, religion, and family are not depicted as outdated or villainous. Instead, the characters’ backgrounds provide motivation, without turning into a critique of broader cultural themes. Masculinity and morality are handled authentically, not subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Multiple viewpoints exist: the protagonists’ betrayals are not celebrated, and the film highlights the complexity and consequences of their actions. Traditional and alternative perspectives are both present, with a sense of moral ambiguity throughout.
