2022 was a defining year for Hollywood's ideological output. Glass Onion weaponized class resentment as comedy. Don't Worry Darling turned suburban domesticity into a prison break allegory. Strange World delivered Disney's first explicitly gay protagonist and its worst-ever opening weekend. VirtueVigil reviewed every 2022 release in our database and ranked the full set by woke margin, the gap between woke score and traditional score with the most woke films at the top.
All 46 films below have been scored and reviewed in full. The list runs from most woke to least woke, so the films with the highest woke content and the largest gap over their traditional scores appear first. This is comprehensive, not curated.

2022: The Woke Year in Review
Glass Onion tops the 2022 list at plus 24 woke margin, the largest gap of any film we reviewed that year. Rian Johnson built an entire film around the thesis that billionaires are idiots propped up by sycophants, and delivered it as a crowd-pleasing mystery. Don't Worry Darling and Strange World follow close behind. The traditional end of the 2022 spectrum is equally striking: Top Gun: Maverick scored strongly traditional and became one of the highest-grossing films of the year. The audience verdict on ideology is built into the box office numbers. Browse all 2022 reviews at virtuevigil.com/reviews/ or see the full year-by-year woke rankings on the lists page.
