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

Auto Focus is refreshingly non-woke, more concerned with a real, flawed human story than ticking any modern ideological boxes. It sticks to character exploration without preaching.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses squarely on Bob Crane's real-life story, emphasizing personal flaws and choices rather than shallow identity politics. Casting and character development seem based on narrative needs, not ideological box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the story is critical of the protagonist's moral failings, it doesn't attack religion, family, or tradition as a whole, rather, it depicts one man’s personal downfall. There are no obvious attempts to subvert masculinity or family values for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are not villainized so much as the film paints a portrait of a troubled individual. There’s no modern ideological uniformity or agenda-based groupthink to be found here.
