Anyone But You2023

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

Anyone But You is a refreshingly non-woke, formulaic rom-com in today's climate. While it nods to modern sensibilities, its main concern is romance, not ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Anyone But You largely sticks to traditional rom-com storytelling. Characters are not primarily defined by identity traits, and representation feels organic rather than forced. Any nods to diversity are relatively understated, and the plot revolves around tried-and-true romance beats rather than serving as a vehicle for social messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film mostly upholds traditional romantic and family dynamics, without overtly undermining masculinity, religion, or cultural foundations. Gender roles are played for comedy but aren't pathologized or subverted. The story isn't particularly interested in radical revisionism and leans on conventional tropes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There isn't a heavy-handed ideological message; non-woke worldviews aren't villainized or absent. The film's focus is on universal romantic misunderstandings rather than culture wars. Dialogue and characters reflect mainstream sensibilities rather than ideological uniformity.
