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

The House of Mirth is refreshingly non-woke, grounded in classic narrative and character study without modern ideological interference. A rare period piece that lets the story speak for itself.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film remains largely faithful to Edith Wharton's novel, focusing on character flaws, class, and social expectations rather than modern identity themes. Characters are defined by personal motivations, not by shoehorned diversity or contemporary ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional social structures, such as marriage, class, and reputation, are depicted as significant forces. While the story critiques aspects of old money and social snobbery, it doesn’t attack traditional family, religion, or gender roles in a modern sense.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no aggressive ideological messaging. The diverse perspectives of the 1900s upper-class society are represented, and characters face real moral dilemmas rather than monolithic progressive virtue signaling.
