What We Think

Wonderland is refreshingly non-woke by today’s Hollywood standards. It’s a raw retelling of a real-life crime, uninterested in ticking diversity boxes or lecturing on modern social issues.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wonderland (2003) is a gritty crime drama focused on the true story of the Wonderland murders. The film emphasizes character flaws and the sordid lives of its subjects over identity politics. There’s little evidence of forced representation or sacrificing storytelling for ideological concerns.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely sticks to its early-1980s cultural context and themes, focusing on crime, addiction, and the underbelly of Hollywood. It does not overtly undermine religion, masculinity, or historical norms, instead portraying a brutal reality.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are not mocked or caricatured. The film’s characters represent a range of motivations and vices, and all are depicted with considerable grit and ambiguity. It avoids obvious modern ideological messaging.
