What We Think

The Orphanage is a rare example of modern cinema keeping its focus on story, emotion, and atmosphere rather than any social agenda. A breath of non-woke fresh air for those tired of Hollywood’s usual trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Orphanage is a Spanish supernatural thriller that prioritizes atmosphere, suspense, and psychological drama over any emphasis on identity politics. Characters are developed around their role in the story and personal motivations, not modern social categories. There are no signs of forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family values, grief, motherhood, and spirituality are core themes treated with depth and respect. No religious or traditional elements are undermined or ridiculed. The story is more haunting than agenda-driven, managing to steer clear of modern cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is focused on universal human themes and does not push any overt ideological messaging. Diverse worldviews are not mocked; in fact, the narrative is refreshingly nonpolitical and avoids the usual caricatures found in more 'woke' works.
