What We Think

‘The Lost King’ is refreshingly non-woke in an era of heavy-handed messaging. It’s mostly focused on storytelling, not checking boxes. A historical drama that lets its characters be human first, what a concept!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a quirky amateur historian’s quest to find King Richard III’s remains. Decisions appear rooted in character motivation rather than identity politics. Casting and characterization are grounded in realism, focusing on the protagonist’s compelling journey without obvious ideological detours.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no flagrant undermining of religion, family, or tradition. Historical context is treated with respect, and there’s no overt subversion of masculinity or traditional morals. The story is engaging without feeling like it’s rewriting cultural foundations for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film offers a modern perspective on history, it doesn’t villainize dissenters or erase alternative views. There’s some light critique of academia, but the focus remains on personal conviction and resilience rather than pushing a singular moral message.
