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 Thursday is moderately woke, its thriller plot is heavily laced with modern social justice themes, but avoids being totally one-note, offering some narrative depth beyond the ideology. Expect strong opinions, but not a full-on lecture.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film leans into social commentary about gender-based injustice, but mostly delivers a high-stakes thriller with a reasonably complex female protagonist. Some character motivations tie heavily to modern ideological themes, but most primary arcs are rooted in personal trauma and realism rather than pure identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

‘A Thursday’ portrays traditional authority figures and institutions critically, especially in handling women’s concerns. There is a clear feminist thread throughout. Masculinity or family aren’t openly mocked, but the story clearly privileges a modern reading of justice and morality over old-school deference to hierarchy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially those skeptical of the film’s feminist framing, are largely absent. Authority figures resisting the protagonist’s motives are mostly unsympathetic or portrayed as ineffective, leaving little room for sincere disagreement within the film.
