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

After.Life is almost refreshingly non-woke, a standard supernatural thriller with psychological undertones and little in the way of ideological interference. It’s proof that you can still make films centered on story and atmosphere, not on box-checking and virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

After.Life focuses primarily on psychological horror and personal existential dread, not on identity politics or forced representation. Characters are defined by their personalities and roles within the story rather than demographic traits. There's no sign that the plot is compromised for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't take aim at religion, family, or traditional gender roles. If anything, it deals in universal existential questions, with no apparent subversion of classic cultural foundations or traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no heavy-handed ideological agenda here. Characters represent a variety of worldviews, all filtered through the film's bleak atmosphere; no perspective is overtly villainized or exalted based on modern political themes.
