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

"Afraid" mostly sticks to Hollywood square, favoring the current climate’s representation habits and ideological bent. It’s not the wokest film out of the gate, but it definitely leans into familiar patterns with little room for traditional or diverse viewpoints.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

From what’s publicly available, "Afraid" appears to bang the usual Blumhouse drum: a modern ensemble cast featuring a checklist of identity boxes. While there isn’t blatant narrative sabotage for pure ideology, the story seems to prioritize contemporary representation trends over deeper character development at times.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film reportedly positions the traditional family unit against invasive technology and does hint at generational divides, but it doesn’t overtly ridicule core values like family or faith. However, it also shies away from affirming them, keeping its critique aligned with prevailing cultural narratives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives get little play, with characters tending toward progressive tech-wariness and moral outlooks in a single direction. Traditional skepticism is present but not robust, so there’s not much ideological variety here, just the mainstream Hollywood stance.
