What We Think

Crazy/Beautiful is refreshingly low on the wokeness scale by modern standards. Its focus on genuine character struggle and balanced perspective keeps ideology in the back seat. If you’re tired of preachy Hollywood fare, this one won’t set off any alarms.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Crazy/Beautiful sticks to a classic romantic drama formula, focusing on character flaws, family issues, and personal growth. The main characters’ backgrounds, one privileged, one not, are relevant but not shoehorned in just for representation. There’s no sign that identity politics overrides the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film explores family dysfunction, but doesn't vilify traditional values outright. While there’s some rebellion against authority and parental expectations, it's in line with coming-of-age drama conventions, not heavy-handed agenda-setting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a real sense of conflict between different backgrounds and perspectives. Neither side is cartoonishly villainized. The movie gives room for dialogue about class, race, and family without pushing a singular worldview.
