Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s narrative centers entirely on personal betrayal and family drama, driven by character flaws and moral dilemmas rather than identity politics. Characters are chosen for their fit within the story, not as vehicles for ideology or representation quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional concepts of marriage, parenthood, and family are explored without mockery or subversion. Masculinity, morality, and consequences are taken seriously, reflecting a more classical view of right and wrong without ideological revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no detectable agenda, caricatured villains, or push for a singular ideological worldview. Characters hold a range of flawed yet relatable motivations, and alternative perspectives are given their due within the drama.
