In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

‘The Passion of Anna’ lands as about as non-woke as it gets. It’s a brooding, adult drama that lets its characters be messy humans, not mouthpieces for ideology. No identity boxes checked here, just classic, complex storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Passion of Anna' focuses on flawed, nuanced characters rather than any sort of identity checkboxes. It’s an introspective drama with little evidence of roles being filled to satisfy ideological quotas. The story and character arcs are complex, not driven by diversity for diversity's sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film grapples with existential questions and personal despair, but it doesn't take aim at religion, family, or masculinity in a modern, subversive sense. Any challenging of tradition feels personal to the characters, not an ideological critique of cultural pillars.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious ideological monoculture; characters are complicated, with conflicting views and emotional struggles. The film doesn’t preach or mock traditional perspectives, opting for ambiguity and human messiness rather than clear-cut modern dogma.
