The Informant!2009

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 Informant! remains refreshingly non-woke, focusing on the absurdity of corporate crime over identity or ideology. No points docked for forced representation or hollow virtue signaling. A rare blast of old-school satire in a decidedly unwoke package.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Informant! is driven by character flaws and satire rather than identity politics. Casting and character focus are merit-based, with no signs of shoehorned diversity or forced representation. Identity factors are not prioritized over plot or storytelling. This film mostly avoids modern ideological distractions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little to suggest any agenda undermining traditional pillars like family, faith, or masculinity. The film centers on corporate greed and personal ethics without advocating for or against classic values, so there’s minimal subversion present.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film is satirical, it largely critiques corporate and personal corruption, not traditional worldviews. Dissenting perspectives aren’t caricatured, nor is the moral landscape painted in strictly modern terms. Traditional and alternative perspectives co-exist within the satire.
