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

While not as aggressively woke as some recent Hollywood outings, 'Battle in Seattle' still pushes a firm activist worldview, with little space for dissenting voices or traditionalist nuance. It checks several boxes for ideological monoculture and cultural critique.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

'Battle in Seattle' leans heavily into identity politics, although it's mostly rooted in activism rather than ticking off representation checkboxes. Characters are diverse but not egregiously so given the protest context. There is a noticeable focus on ideology, occasionally at the expense of deeper character development or nuanced backstories.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional institutions like government, law enforcement, and hierarchy are generally shown in a negative light, while grassroots activism is presented as morally superior. Religion and family aren't significant, but the film frames traditional authority in a critical way, which some viewers may interpret as undermining cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are largely sidelined or caricatured. The primary narrative sympathizes with the protestors; voices from institutions or those opposing the activism are rarely given depth or sincerity. The ideological spectrum feels very narrow throughout the film.
