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

A throwback to pre-woke cinema. 'Celal and Ceren' is more interested in slapstick romance and relationship blunders than championing modern ideology. Traditional values, and even outdated ones, are on display, so don’t expect an avalanche of hashtags or moralizing here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Celal and Ceren' sticks to conventional romantic comedy dynamics and doesn't appear to shoehorn in identity politics. Characters are driven more by personal quirks and basic interpersonal issues than by any forced ideological messaging or identity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film portrays traditional values, family, masculinity, and relationship struggles in a fairly straightforward, non-didactic way. If anything, some jokes might feel dated today, but there’s no systematic undermining of local cultural foundations or rewriting of norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative points of view, especially traditional and mainstream attitudes, are presented as ordinary, not as villains. There's little to no sign of a rigid modern ideological framework or groupthink at work here, just regular folks with regular problems.
