What We Think

The Sicilian Clan is about as non-woke as it gets, a tense, old-school gangster flick that sticks to crime, family drama, and human flaws, untouched by the ideological trends that dominate today’s Hollywood output.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Sicilian Clan is a classic crime thriller focused on plot, tension, and old-school character drama. Identity politics are absent, and characters are judged by what they do, not by who they are. There's no hint that casting or characterization was done for ideological reasons, just gritty, believable criminal storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film leans into traditional family dynamics and explores complex masculine roles without subversion or mockery. Older values like loyalty, honor, and even religious overtones surface organically, with no attempt to rewrite historical or cultural norms to fit modern agendas.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s absolutely no sense of forced ideological conformity or the sidelining of alternative viewpoints. Characters represent a variety of motivations and backgrounds, and there's no moral lecturing or obvious push toward contemporary social values.
