Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film sticks closely to Tolstoy's source material and doesn't pander to modern ideological trends. Characters are developed based on their actions, backgrounds, and personalities, not shoehorned identity traits. No forced representation anywhere in sight, just a dramatic canvas true to the era depicted.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional Russian values, family, religion, and themes of honor and duty are treated with serious respect. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed according to historical norms, without any attempt to subvert the cultural context or rewrite traditions for a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Some might say there's a lack of diverse modern worldviews, but that’s faithful to 19th-century Russia. The film doesn't mock or villainize tradition; it earnestly explores themes relevant to its historical setting, avoiding caricatures of traditional perspectives.
