Our VerdictNot Woke

The Trust2016

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 Trust is refreshingly non-woke. It cares about character, suspense, and gritty storytelling over shoehorned modern issues. If you’re tired of recent Hollywood preachiness, this is a rare palate cleanser.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Trust focuses on character flaws, plot tension, and the gritty procedural elements of a heist gone wrong. There is no evidence of forced representation or overtly ideological casting. The characters’ identities serve the crime genre rather than political messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional ideas about family, religion, or masculinity aren’t central but aren’t mocked or subverted either. The film is more interested in the moral ambiguity of its leads than critiquing cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t push an ideological monoculture. Characters are flawed, diverse in motive, and not vehicles for current social messaging. No group is villainized along ideological lines.
