What We Think

Boulevard leans into identity-driven drama but stops short of full-on woke overload. It’s introspective and empathetic, but traditional ideals get sidelined in favor of self-liberation themes. A solid mid-tier woke showing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a closeted man coming to terms with his sexuality, prioritizing personal struggle over blatant ideology. However, it’s clear that identity still plays a central narrative role, with less emphasis on traditional drama arcs, putting it firmly in the “mildly woke” zone for narrative balance.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Boulevard explores themes of traditional marriage and midlife crisis, often portraying conventional family structures as confining or unfulfilling. That said, it doesn’t fully demonize tradition, so it’s less aggressive than many recent films, but it nudges viewers toward skepticism about old-school values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative views, like remaining loyal to tradition, aren't given much weight, but the film doesn’t villainize them outright. Instead, there’s a tacit assumption that the protagonist’s self-discovery is the only valid path. Some pluralism, but the woke worldview dominates without much debate.
