[about a “wokeness rating” website]

It’s pretty nuanced. It gives a weighted score for both Woke and Traditional aspects. And it doesn’t label any movie with any woke content as automatically bad.

For example, the new Cliffhanger is a genderswapped reboot where the girl has to rescue her father but they call it not woke because it is about the importance of family which is a traditional value.

And it said They Will Kill You is woke but it is still a good movie.

And some of their decision will really surprise you.

Sinners is listed as Traditional.

Brokeback Mountain has an exact 50/50 split with 18 points each for both Woke and Traditional.

And Full Metal Jacket is listed as Woke.

Here is an example of a ruling on what they refer to as the “Woke Trap.”

✅ NOT A WOKE TRAP

The Christophers (2026) does not qualify as a woke trap under VVWS v1.1 rules. The film scores TRADITIONAL LEAN at +4.84 TRAD margin, placing it in the narrow +3 to +9 band where traditional and woke content are nearly balanced but traditional edges ahead.

For a trap assessment, three conditions must be met: actual woke score (negative margin, failing here), significant runtime delay before woke reveals itself (not applicable), and deceptive packaging (the film is marketed and delivered as a character-driven drama about artistic integrity, which is exactly what it delivers).

The LGBTQ subplot featuring Julian’s portraits of his male ex-lover is present, organic to the narrative, and scored at HIGH authenticity because McKellen’s performance and Soderbergh’s direction treat it as part of the character’s emotional truth rather than an ideological statement. The film’s primary conflict is greed versus integrity, and integrity wins. That is a traditional thesis. The woke content does not overtake it.
