What We Think

Despite its modern release, "Beast" is a breath of non-woke fresh air. The film puts character, plot, and psychological tension front and center, with very little evidence of ideological shoehorning or forced representation.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Beast" keeps the focus on complex, flawed characters and suspenseful storytelling rather than checking identity boxes or relying on ideology. The narrative never comes off as forced, and the castings appear organic to the story's setting and themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't spend its time mocking tradition, masculinity, or religion. Instead, it explores darker human nature and moral ambiguity without pushing a particular modern agenda or rewriting classic values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

"Beast" doesn't create cartoonish villains out of traditional perspectives, nor does it wallow in any ideological echo chamber. Multiple worldviews and character motivations are presented, allowing for real conflict and debate.
