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 Royal Hotel does not shy away from its woke messaging, frequently prioritizing ideology over character depth and thematic balance. Expect a heavy-handed portrayal of gender conflict with little tolerance for alternative interpretations.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film appears to prioritize commentary on gender power dynamics over nuanced character development. The focus on female protagonists confronting a toxic male environment can feel more ideological than organic. Many characters seem designed to illustrate a social point rather than reflect a balanced human perspective.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity is mostly portrayed as threatening or regressive, while the female leads are positioned as inherently virtuous or victims. There’s little effort to provide any redeeming perspective on masculine roles or local working-class culture, leaning into a skeptical or critical take on those foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are largely missing. Male characters are often one-dimensional antagonists, and there is little room for genuine debate or complexity, ideological uniformity reigns, with the film’s main conflict serving to reinforce a familiar woke narrative without challenge.
