Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wicker Park prioritizes suspense and character-driven drama without attention-seeking identity politics. Character traits and arcs are rooted in personal motives instead of modern ideological checklists. There's no sign of forced representation, and all major roles fit logically within the story’s Chicago setting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional romance, longing, and personal obsession are driving forces, not modern subversions of gender or family. Masculinity and femininity are handled conventionally, with men and women displaying emotional complexity rather than ideological messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No heavy-handed lecturing or caricatured antagonists representing traditional views. While some might say its worldview is typical for romantic thrillers of the era, there’s no evidence of modern ideological biases or erasure of dissenting perspectives.
