What We Think

Touchez Pas au Grisbi is about as non-woke as it gets. This is tough, old-fashioned storytelling with zero interest in modern ideological posturing. If you want classic noir unsullied by contemporary trends, you’ve found it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This classic French noir maintains an authentic focus on character and plot, uninterested in modern identity checklists. The story revolves around hardened gangsters, and every casting and character trait serves the gritty atmosphere and criminal narrative, not external social messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film sticks to mid-20th century French cultural norms. Masculinity, loyalty, and even themes of aging and honor are presented in a straightforward manner. No subversion of family, tradition, or religion is on the menu, just old-school crime drama.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren't shoehorned or mocked from a modern ideological standpoint. The film simply reflects the worldview of its time, where characters are flawed, no one is lecturing, and the audience isn't bludgeoned with 21st-century virtue signaling.
