What We Think

"Alex Strangelove" is firmly in the high-woke category, steering its narrative and messaging to prioritize identity themes over classic storytelling elements. Dissenting or traditional perspectives are given little genuine space, resulting in a strong ideological monoculture throughout.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The narrative often centers more on the protagonist's identity exploration than on individual character depth or classic coming-of-age elements. Some may see events and character decisions as driven less by natural story logic and more by the goal of affirming identity themes, which could come at the expense of traditional storytelling and development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film reinterprets teen romance almost exclusively through themes of sexuality and identity, with traditional relationships, masculinity, and even coming-of-age family dynamics largely sidelined or treated as sources of discomfort or misunderstanding. This reflects an updated cultural lens where conventional perspectives are rarely affirmed.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or dissenting views on relationships, gender, or identity receive little to no sincere treatment. Traditional perspectives are often depicted as relics or obstacles, and virtually all positive character development aligns with affirming progressive stances on these issues. There's a heavy tilt toward modern ideological uniformity.
