What We Think

About Last Night... is refreshing in its lack of overt wokeness, focusing on relationship realism rather than ideological spectacle. It’s an example of storytelling where narrative comes first.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on realistic romantic relationships and avoids sacrificing the narrative for identity politics. Character development is based on personality, experience, and chemistry, not on checking modern representation boxes. Forced casting and over-the-top empowerment tropes are nowhere in sight.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional relationship dynamics, commitment struggles, and discussions about love, family, and masculinity are depicted in a fairly authentic 1980s manner. The film doesn’t go out of its way to subvert gender norms or rewrite traditional roles for the sake of a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, especially doubts and fears about relationships, are given honest representation. Characters argue real issues, and no singular modern ideology is forced down the audience’s throat. Both male and female perspectives are handled with relative balance.
