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 Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus barely registers on the woke scale. It remains an eccentric fantasy romp, more interested in surrealism and classic storytelling than modern ideological concerns. A breath of non-woke air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film appears focused on whimsical narrative and creative visual storytelling rather than pushing identity-driven agendas. Casting seems artistically driven, not based on forced representation. Characters are flawed and layered, with no overt signs of perfect, ideology-mandated characterization.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religious and mythological elements are used for fantasy rather than direct critique or revisionism. There is no obvious undermining of family, tradition, or morality, nor a heavy-handed subversion of gender roles. Classic good vs. evil themes remain intact.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little sign of ideological uniformity or caricatured villainizing of dissent. The film explores philosophical and moral ambiguities more than political themes, and diverse perspectives exist within its fantasy framework without overt messaging.
