What We Think

'Confessions' sidesteps the typical pitfalls of modern 'woke' cinema. It’s a sharp, dark thriller unafraid to explore morally gray terrain without shoehorning in social messaging. Audiences hungry for non-woke storytelling will find little to gripe about here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film remains laser-focused on its complex characters and moral ambiguity, rather than forcing in modern identity politics or obvious casting-for-diversity points. Its story unfolds with a genuine devotion to psychological thriller conventions, not ideological checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While 'Confessions' is a dark tale, it doesn't go out of its way to mock or subvert traditional values. The portrayal of motherhood and vengeance isn’t twisted to serve any fashionable pop theory, it’s all about deeply human motivations, not some lecture on gender dynamics.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no sanctimonious sermonizing or villainization of traditional perspectives here. The characters are complex; their actions are scrutinized, not shallowly excused or demonized based on politics. Multiple viewpoints are presented, making the film a refreshing break from the ideological echo chamber.
