Let Them Eat Cake1999

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

A broadly satirical period comedy, 'Let Them Eat Cake' barely registers on the woke-meter. Its targets are universal vice and historical absurdity, not modern identity politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Let Them Eat Cake predates the modern 'woke' wave and focuses more on satire and farce set in pre-revolutionary France. Character quirks and power plays, rather than identity politics, drive the story. Any diversity is purely in service of the comedy, not forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion and tradition are mocked in a Monty Python-esque way, but the show doesn’t explicitly undermine core cultural pillars, it’s all about lampooning the ridiculous excess of the era, not critiquing modern values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While there are plenty of jokes about power and class, alternative perspectives aren’t villainized so much as everyone is shown as self-interested and ridiculous. It’s fairly even-handed, with cynicism pointed in all directions.
