Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Last of Sheila focuses on a complex whodunit with deeply human characters, whose arcs are defined by their actions and motivated by personal secrets rather than modern identity politics. There’s no obvious prioritization of race, gender, or sexuality over narrative fit or merit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s morality and character drama reflect classic Hollywood sensibilities. Family, masculinity, and traditional roles aren’t undermined nor excessively championed; rather, they’re woven into the tapestry of flawed, believable people. There’s little subversion of tradition for its own sake.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No single worldview dominates. The film’s cast consists of complicated individuals, each depicted with flaws and alternate perspectives. Traditional and non-traditional values coexist in a story built more on suspense than any one ideology.
