Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps2010

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ is almost refreshingly non-woke for a modern film. Its priorities are on finance, personal flaws, and classic moral dilemmas, not on forced representation or ideological preaching. A rare specimen these days.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The focus remains on finance, ambition, and personal drama rather than checking diversity boxes. Characters are developed around their morals, ambition, and skill, not their demographics. There’s no sense that casting or characterization was dictated by identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional views on business, family, and redemption are front and center. The film doesn’t take aim at masculinity, religion, or family. In fact, it even treats fatherhood and legacy with some seriousness, hardly the hallmark of modern 'wokeness.'

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Criticism of capitalism is present, but that’s par for the genre. There’s no heavy-handed villainization of alternative or traditional worldviews, and the story navigates some complexity in motivations and ethics, rather than a one-note ideological sermon.
