Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film focuses on the real-life story of journalist Veronica Guerin without indulging in overt identity politics. Characters are depicted based on their roles and relevance to the story, rather than as vehicles for contemporary social commentary. The narrative is driven by Guerin’s work and moral courage.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, courage, and the pursuit of justice are present throughout the film. There is no clear subversion of cultural or religious touchpoints; if anything, the film shows reverence for its subject’s convictions and her cultural environment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews and motivations are represented, the criminals, police, journalists, and the wider community all have distinct voices. The movie doesn’t force the audience into a single modern ideological perspective.
