Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Vidocq primarily focuses on storytelling, atmosphere, and French folklore. Characters are complex and their identities serve the story rather than box-checking. There’s no apparent prioritization of ideology or forced representation; casting and tone remain rooted in the period setting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like religion, morality, and masculinity are present and woven into the gothic mystery. There is no evident subversion or ridicule of such concepts; the movie seems more interested in exploring its strange world than pushing contemporary cultural commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present and depicted through nuanced characters. There’s no noticeable villainization of traditional perspectives or modern ideological monoculture. The film appears to embrace ambiguity over lecturing the audience.
