What We Think

With its strong focus on modern ideological themes, 'Babygirl' looks like classic A24-brand wokeness: representation-first casting, undercutting of tradition, and virtually zero room for non-woke perspectives. Hard to get less subtle than this.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Babygirl' strongly centers identity-focused storytelling, often emphasizing characters' backgrounds over their personalities or organic development. Casting and narrative arcs seem clearly built around modern representation checkboxes rather than merit or internal logic, which may undermine narrative integrity for some audiences.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film appears to challenge traditional family dynamics, masculinity, and even religious themes, often portraying them as outdated or problematic while elevating alternative values with little nuance. This could easily be seen as undermining long-standing cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

'Babygirl' presents a very narrow range of acceptable perspectives. Dissenting or more traditional viewpoints are either absent or treated with caricature, leaving little room for authentic debate or pluralism within its story world.
