Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Away We Go" focuses primarily on the personal journey of a couple expecting their first child. The narrative develops around their quirks and personalities, rather than using identity politics as the primary driver. Characters are written with depth and flaws, contributing to the story's sincerity rather than pushing an agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film does sometimes poke gentle fun at traditional family structures and parenting philosophies, but mainly as part of its character-driven comedy. There's no outright hostility to religion, family, or masculinity; if anything, it meanders through different approaches to these values for comedic or ironic effect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film does stick to a generally modern, slightly progressive worldview, it doesn't demonize alternative perspectives. There is some satire of overly progressive or alternative lifestyles, providing a little balance. Still, non-woke worldviews are mostly treated with humor or as pitfalls.
