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

"Women in Love" is more a product of its literary roots than any modern ‘wokeness’. It explores gender, love, and social changes with a 60s experimental touch, but does not push a heavy contemporary ideological agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Women in Love" does focus on the emotional lives of women, it tells a complex human story and doesn't feel like identity politics are overshadowing character or narrative. The storytelling appears to be consistent with the source material and prioritizes relationship dynamics over ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film challenges some traditional values, especially around relationships and sexuality, but it does so in keeping with D.H. Lawrence's original novel and the context of post-WWI Europe. It doesn't overtly vilify masculinity, religion, or family, but neither does it celebrate them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is thoughtful exploration of different worldviews, and characters wrestle with norms regarding love and society. Alternatives aren’t simply mocked; the film is more interested in raising questions than preaching modern ideology.
