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

Brittany Runs a Marathon is refreshingly low on the woke scale. It focuses on personal growth over ideology, avoids forced diversity, and doesn’t undercut traditional values or perspectives. In a sea of Hollywood lectures, this one is more about putting sneakers on than pushing an agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film's story focuses on personal growth and overcoming adversity through hard work, rather than emphasizing identity-based themes or ideological boxes. The protagonist is a flawed character who faces genuine challenges and grows realistically, without forced representation or undue emphasis on surface traits like gender or identity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as friendship, self-discipline, and personal accountability are central to the film. There is no major subversion of family, masculinity, or long-standing cultural foundations. Any critique of contemporary culture is more about self-improvement than about undermining foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film avoids heavy-handed messaging and presents a character whose journey doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives. There's an absence of caricatured depictions of dissenters or enforced ideological uniformity, making for a pretty balanced narrative in this regard.
