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

Godard’s ‘Weekend’ isn’t ‘woke’ in the current sense, it’s more a savage attack on Western tradition and bourgeois comfort. While it’s nihilistic and aggressively anti-traditional, it’s not obsessed with the contemporary fixations on identity. Radical, yes; peak ‘woke,’ not quite.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film is wild and surreal, its narrative chaos stems more from experimental art-house sensibilities than modern identity politics. The focus is on social and political breakdown, not on forced diversity or identity box-checking. Ideology doesn’t overwhelm character or story in the expressly modern sense.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

‘Weekend’ absolutely trashes bourgeois culture, traditional values, and social order. Family, religion, and traditional morality are lampooned or dismissed, reflecting the radical spirit of 1960s leftism. That said, it’s more anarchic nihilism than today’s typical ‘woke’ box-ticking.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, especially traditional ones, are mocked relentlessly, leaving little room for sincere pluralism or debate. Almost everyone outside the revolutionary fringe is painted as absurd or corrupt, which is a kind of early ideological monoculture, if not exactly today’s blend.
