Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's narrative largely prioritizes authentic character development and emotional nuance over identity politics. Casting choices and character arcs seem driven by the story's needs rather than trying to make a statement about representation or ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, romance, and morality are presented without being mocked or subverted. There’s no overt attempt to undermine masculinity, religion, or time-honored values. It's a modern rom-com, but it treats its subject matter with sincerity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While its worldview is clearly contemporary, dissenting perspectives aren’t demonized, and the film doesn’t force all characters into one ideological box. It allows for emotional complexity and avoids heavy-handed soapboxing.
