What We Think

Almost Christmas is refreshingly non-woke for a modern holiday movie. Instead of ideological lecturing, it provides an authentic look at family life, focusing on universal themes that everyone can relate to. If you’re looking for a break from lectures and soapboxes, this is a safe bet.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Almost Christmas focuses on family dynamics and personal growth, without bending over backwards to tick identity boxes or sacrificing narrative for ideological emphasis. Characters are portrayed with real flaws and personalities, and the casting, while centered on a black family, serves the story rather than any social checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, faith, and togetherness are at the heart of this film. It highlights traditional values, community, and holiday spirit, rather than undermining them. Masculinity, religion, and generational bonds are treated with respect, so there’s not much wokeness to gripe about here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is little to suggest that dissenting perspectives are mocked or excluded. The characters have differences and conflicts driven by personality and circumstance, not political ideology. Viewers aren’t being bludgeoned by a 21st-century progressive monoculture.
