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

Big Eyes is fairly non-woke by modern standards. It prioritizes compelling storytelling over any ideological preaching, with most 'woke' elements limited to critiquing personal abuse rather than pushing a broader agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Big Eyes mostly tells a personal, true story focused on art, deception, and empowerment, not sacrificing narrative for ideology. While it highlights a woman's struggle, the focus stays largely on her talent and personal journey rather than identity politics or heavy-handed messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film deals with themes of gender injustice, but it doesn't aggressively undermine family, masculinity, or morality. Instead, it critiques the abuse and manipulation by the male lead without turning the story into an all-out attack on traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film positions the male character as the antagonist, and it's clear who we're supposed to root for, it doesn't caricature all men or push an ideological monologue. Alternative viewpoints, though a bit thin, aren't maliciously villainized.
