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 the Wedding’ swaps traditional roles for a modern, progressive spin, favoring identity-based casting and idealizing certain ideologies. It’s yet another example of Hollywood remaking stories to fit today’s ideological mold, with little room for tradition or balanced debate.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film swaps genders from the original, casting women in both leads where men had starred, which seems like an identity-based decision. The plot heavily centers on the emotional journeys of its female characters and often sidelines male perspectives, hinting at forced representation over organic character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family roles are subverted, with masculinity taking a backseat and motherhood, and, more broadly, female agency, being cast as the heroic norm. The film's view of marriage and parental responsibilities leans hard into modern, progressive ideals over traditional ones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There's little space given to alternative or dissenting viewpoints. Values and perspectives that deviate from today's dominant cultural norms are largely missing or subtly mocked, resulting in a narrative echo chamber embracing the modern status quo.
