Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Lady Vanishes delivers a straightforward thriller without shoehorning in identity politics. Characters are defined by personality and role within the story, not modern ideological boxes. There’s no sense that casting or character depiction is driven by forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, British identity, and common decency are depicted without subversion. The film does not undermine masculinity or belittle traditional roles. It’s rooted in its era’s cultural framework and presents its historical context unaltered.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t villainized, and there’s a plurality of characters, motivations, and philosophies. The plot doesn’t elevate a singular modern perspective or push ideological uniformity. The story is focused squarely on suspense and intrigue, not a cultural lecture.
