What We Think

If Hollywood’s goal was maximum wokeness, "After We Fell" must've missed the memo. It’s almost refreshingly old-school, content to wallow in melodrama and romantic clichés rather than lecture the audience. Not even a hint of progressive sermonizing here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"After We Fell" sticks closely to well-trodden romance tropes with little to no prioritization of identity politics. There is minimal forced representation, and the main focus is melodrama rather than a sociopolitical message. Its flaws lie in cliché writing, not ideological excess.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional relationship drama is front and center, sometimes toxically so!, but there isn’t a push to subvert gender roles or rewrite cultural traditions. Instead, the film largely upholds a classic view of messy romance, for better or worse.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Debate over modern values is virtually absent, but so is any clear woke messaging. If anything, the film ignores most social trends in favor of unreliable boyfriends and angsty monologues. Traditional alternatives exist in the background, if simplistically portrayed.
