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

The 2019 'A Christmas Carol' is Dickens dressed up for the current era, mixing classic story beats with heavy-handed modern commentary. It's more 'woke' Christmas ghost story than timeless classic.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The 2019 adaptation injects modern social themes heavily into Dickens' classic, at times putting ideology over Dickens’ original narrative intent. Race and gender issues are foregrounded in new ways, with some casting choices and character arcs feeling more box-checking than organic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional depictions of family, morality, and religion are recast with a darker, more cynical modern edge. Masculinity, especially through Scrooge, is pathologized, and faith is sidelined in favor of psychological explanations. Classic values take a backseat to contemporary interpretations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are largely flattened, traditional characters and beliefs are shown as sources of trauma or bigotry, with modern social critiques taking center stage. There’s little room for pluralism or genuine debate: the moral message is one-directional.
