What We Think

“Breathe In” sticks to traditional storytelling and character-driven drama, steering clear of any significant 'woke' hallmarks. If you're tired of identity-first storytelling, this film offers a refreshing return to nuanced and non-woke filmmaking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on complex interpersonal drama and traditional character arcs, with narrative choices clearly grounded in character flaws and personal relationships rather than identity politics. No evidence of forced representation or identity taking precedence over realistic plotting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics, temptation, and human frailty are at the heart of the movie. Religion, family, and morality are treated as complex and human, not mocked or rewritten. Gender roles are approached in a grounded, non-revisionist way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film avoids preachiness and offers no clear ideological agenda. Alternative perspectives and internal conflicts are depicted with realism, and no worldview dominates or is villainized. It's refreshingly pluralistic in its depiction of flawed humans.
