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

Becky plays with traditional roles and expectations, but doesn't go full 'woke'. It flirts with trendy reversals but stops short of sacrificing its story on the altar of ideology. More non-woke than you'd expect from modern Hollywood, even if it raises an eyebrow or two.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Becky puts a teen girl at the center of a hyper-violent revenge thriller, flipping expectations but not outright sacrificing the story for ideology. The premise strains credibility at times, yet the main character, while resourceful, displays legitimate flaws and fear, offering some balance between empowerment and believability.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculine roles are somewhat cartoonish, with villainy and bumbling ineptitude on display. Becky, a young girl, is shown overpowering adult men, which could be seen as subverting typical gender roles. However, the film doesn’t aggressively undermine broader institutions like family, religion, or tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The movie mostly focuses on its thriller plot rather than pushing ideological messaging. There's little effort to mock alternative views or promote an ideological monoculture, characters are, frankly, too busy fighting for their lives to deliver lectures.
