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

“Ararat” is earnest in addressing historical injustice, but does so through a modern lens that amplifies ideological messaging and underplays traditional cultural values or narrative balance. Not over-the-top woke, but firmly on that path.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While "Ararat" focuses on a significant historical event, some viewers may feel its narrative often broadens into an exploration of identity, trauma, and cultural grievance over character-driven storytelling or plot. The emphasis on personal and cultural victimhood might dilute traditional story arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film strongly critiques nationalism, questions historical narratives, and highlights generational trauma instead of more traditional depictions of faith, family, or heroism. Some traditional viewers might see institutions and foundational values as sidelined or reframed through a modern, critical lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, especially those questioning the dominant narrative, are largely depicted as antagonistic or willfully ignorant. There’s little sincere representation of alternative or traditional perspectives; the film leans heavily into one ideological stance.
