Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a realistic, character-driven narrative about a young teacher dealing with a theft scandal at her school. Character backgrounds, such as ethnicity or gender, take a backseat to moral ambiguity and real-world tension. No forced representation or ideological posturing is evident.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family structures, and traditional values are present as part of some characters’ backgrounds, but they aren’t mocked or villainized. The story is about truth and institutional challenges, not about undermining social norms or traditional roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film leans into the shades-of-grey realities of institutional life. While there may be a general consensus about values like honesty, diverse perspectives are shown, including generational and cultural differences, without villainizing non-progressive characters.
