What We Think

‘The Unknown Woman’ keeps things grounded and largely non-woke. It’s a far cry from the checklist diversity and identity focus dominating today’s blockbusters, more concerned with storytelling than box-ticking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's primary focus is on personal trauma, suspense, and psychological depth. Identity politics are essentially absent; characters are defined by their backstories and actions, not by token traits. It feels refreshingly traditional compared to modern output.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the plot explores dark themes, it doesn’t go out of its way to mock or undermine traditional values, family, or masculinity. The story relies on classic European thriller elements and doesn’t indulge in subverting traditional cultural cornerstones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed ideological preaching. Alternative viewpoints and layers of human experience are represented authentically, without forced caricatures of any group. Internal conflict and a range of perspectives are allowed to play out in the story.
