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

"Baby" is blissfully non-woke: it puts gripping storytelling, competence, and traditional values front and center while steering clear of ideological soapboxing and forced identity politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Baby" focuses on plot, suspense, and competence over identity politics. Characters are driven by the story, not shoehorned diversity. There's no forced representation, and identity markers don't overshadow character motivations or skill. It's refreshingly old-school in that sense.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, duty, patriotism, and traditional values are treated respectfully. The film boldly upholds national security and masculine heroism. Religion and cultural roots are tied to specific characters' motivations, but not mocked or subverted. No signs of Hollywood-style revisionism here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are represented by multiple characters. While the villains are extremists, the film doesn't broadly caricature traditional beliefs. Debates are woven into the plot rather than presented as simplistic good versus evil morality plays.
