What We Think

"Admission" stays fairly tame in the 'woke' department, opting for quirky character drama over ideological preaching. Mild subversions exist, but ideology doesn’t flatten the story. It's more of a standard rom-com with a bit of a modern edge than a manifesto.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Admission" does touch on identity and non-traditional family structures, the narrative is primarily character-driven, focusing on personal growth and relationships rather than shoehorning ideology. The characters mostly feel organic to the story, and there is no egregious forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is some mild subversion of traditional family and gender roles, especially as the film deals with unconventional motherhood and pokes gentle fun at the academic establishment. However, it doesn't aggressively undermine religion, family, or masculinity. Most themes are treated with a light touch.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film leans into academic and liberal-leaning settings, but it stops short of villainizing opposing viewpoints. Traditional perspectives are present, though not always central. There isn’t monolithic ideological messaging, but there’s definitely a bit of the expected Hollywood tilt.
