Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on historical intrigue and personal ambition, not on modern identity politics. Casting and character arcs seem driven by narrative needs, not ideology. Some historical inaccuracies creep in, but they’re more about dramatization than forced identity statements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, religion, and gender roles are portrayed in the context of Tudor England without overt subversion. While female agency is highlighted, it aligns with the film’s historical premise rather than a modern ideological push.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No evidence of ideological monoculture. The film explores various perspectives and moral ambiguities typical of its period, without pushing a singular modern worldview or demonizing traditional outlooks.
