Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The story focuses on interpersonal relationships, culture clash, and family chaos rather than box-ticking diversity or overt identity politics. While there is an undercurrent of progressive social attitudes, identity factors largely serve the plot and humor. Nothing feels shoehorned or out of place, so any ideological influence is muted.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Religion and family are presented mainly through the lens of comedic dysfunction. Masculinity and traditional roles are certainly lampooned, but not with the aggressive edge seen in more recent films. It’s more irreverent than truly subversive, poking fun at everyone involved without relentlessly tearing down foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The film leans cosmopolitan and left-leaning, but there are no one-dimensional villains representing traditional views nor is there total ideological conformity. The humor can be a bit smug, yet there’s enough pluralism, everyone gets roasted, especially the French relatives.
