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 Player" is a sharp Hollywood satire rather than a woke manifesto. It skewers industry insiders, focusing on personality over identity, with little to none of the usual modern woke trappings. A refreshingly non-woke watch.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Player" focuses on satirizing Hollywood itself, with a primary emphasis on narrative, character, and industry critique rather than identity politics or forced representation. Character traits are rooted in personality and profession, not identity factors. It's built around classic noir satire and doesn't push modern ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film doesn't seek to undermine religion, family, or traditional values. Instead, it lampoons Hollywood corruption and morality without taking aim at broader Western cultural foundations or subverting traditional gender roles. The film's commentary stays within industry boundaries.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the movie does mock Hollywood's self-importance and hypocrisy, it doesn't villainize traditional viewpoints or present only a single ideological framework. There's room for irony and pluralism, and characters are presented as flawed humans, not just stand-ins for any one ideology.
