What We Think

While Connie and Carla flirts with gender-bending themes and leans into progressive representation for 2004, its heart is in broad comedy rather than activism. Not much to rile up the anti-woke crowd, but it’s no non-woke bastion either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Connie and Carla uses the drag scene as its main backdrop, but ultimately, it's a classic mistaken-identity/slapstick comedy. While LGBTQ identities are central, the narrative is more about comedic hijinks and personal growth than explicit ideological preaching.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film gently pokes fun at traditional gender norms by having two women pretend to be men performing as drag queens. But it doesn’t go out of its way to mock masculinity, family, or religion. The main focus remains on music and friendship.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The movie is largely sympathetic to LGBTQ characters and does not offer substantial critical perspectives from more traditional views. Still, any villainization is lighthearted and in service of the comedic tone, rather than outright agenda-pushing.
