What We Think

'Violet & Daisy' bucks the current Hollywood trend: it centers on female leads without falling into typical woke traps. The film lets its flawed, fascinating characters carry the drama, not their identities. A rare case of non-woke storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the two female leads defy traditional gender roles, the film doesn't seem to force identity politics or box-ticking diversity. Its narrative focuses more on character flaws and growth than on ideological messaging. Casting appears merit-based, with personalities driving the story rather than identity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional femininity and masculinity are not deeply undermined, though the leads are hitwomen. The film doesn't overtly mock family, religion, or morality and presents some genuine emotional depth without rewriting core cultural ideas.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There isn’t a clear ideological monoculture. While the central characters are female, their identity is not weaponized to preach a particular worldview. Alternative perspectives aren't heavily villainized or mocked.
