Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Come and See is laser-focused on its narrative, depicting the horrors of war through the eyes of a young boy. Characters are defined by their actions and experiences rather than identity box-checking. There's zero evidence of forced representation or unrealistic character invincibility; the film is harrowing and honest.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film portrays the devastation of rural life, family, and faith under Nazi occupation, highlighting the suffering of innocent civilians. Though bleak, it treats religion, family, and tradition with sympathetic realism, not as backward obstacles to progress. Any critique is simply a reflection of war's horrors.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no modern ideological preaching or agenda here, just a raw, unflinching depiction of historical atrocity. It doesn't villainize dissenting viewpoints for the sake of current year messaging. Good and evil are shown in a historical, contextually grounded manner, without moralizing on modern identity issues.
