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

Clinical stays firmly in psychological horror territory and doesn't wade into identity politics or social commentary. It's a refreshing change from the usual Hollywood formula, more focused on scares than scoring ideological points.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses mainly on psychological horror and suspense, with character depth and plot at the center. There is minimal emphasis on identity politics or casting that appears driven by ideological representation, and the narrative isn't sacrificed for activism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values or institutions aren't particularly central or undermined. Religion, family, and gender roles are not significant plot points. The story prioritizes psychological trauma and suspense, avoiding commentary on broader social norms or cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not take strong sides on political or social debates. There is little to no mocking or villainization of alternative worldviews, and the few characters present are treated as people, not ideological mouthpieces.
