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

“Active Measures” is a textbook example of ideological filmmaking, a slickly packaged, one-sided affair that rarely lets nuance or alternative viewpoints muddy its thesis. Expect high woke scores across the board for narrative rigidity and monocultural thinking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The documentary leans hard into a single perspective, largely sidelining complexity for a narrative focused on alleged election interference and political malfeasance. In our view, nuance and balance are sacrificed to underline ideological points, with little room for opposing theories or alternative explanations.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

While not centrally about family or religion, the film consistently frames traditional American institutions and government as compromised or corrupted. There's an undercurrent that questions foundational trust and morality, which some viewers could interpret as undermining cultural confidence.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film offers only one ideological angle, vilifying dissenting perspectives and painting opposition almost exclusively in a negative light. There is scant evidence of genuine pluralism or debate; it's a closed circuit reinforcing a singular worldview.
