Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“2:22” is a standard romantic thriller without noticeable prioritization of identity politics over story. Characters are developed through personal quirks and plot-driven events, not box-ticking representation. No signs of forced diversity or ideological virtue signaling distract from the core narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no subversion or undermining of family, religion, or traditional morality. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed in an ordinary, unremarkable way, and there’s zero attempt at cultural revisionism. This film rarely dips its toes in anything resembling culture war waters.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are not villainized; in fact, ideological themes are virtually absent. Characters are fleshed out as individuals with personal motivations, not representatives of a social debate. Viewers looking for woke dogma won’t find it here.
