What We Think

Here’s a rare breed, an early-2000s relationship drama where story and character take priority over modern ideological posturing. "Conversations with Other Women" keeps its focus old-school and non-woke, sticking to grown-up themes without the need for a 21st-century identity checklist.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story is tightly focused on the complex interaction between just two characters, emphasizing their personalities, choices, and flaws over identity markers. There's no apparent forced representation or narrative sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores themes of marriage, fidelity, and regret in a pretty classic, non-revisionist way. While relationships are messy, it doesn’t take potshots at traditional values or social norms, nor does it rewrite history or tradition for modern political aims.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

With only two central characters and a focus on their very personal history, the film doesn't parade a gallery of ideological talking points. There’s no strawman villainy or narrow monoculture pushed here; it’s refreshingly nuanced and personal.
