In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Crumb is about as far from woke orthodoxy as you can get in a ‘90s documentary. It’s raw, messy, and refuses to airbrush away controversy, or force in trendy social messages. Chaotic, not ideological.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Crumb” is a raw, unfiltered documentary that focuses on the cartoonist Robert Crumb and his unique, sometimes controversial, work. It doesn’t appear to mold its narrative to any trendy ideology. The film prioritizes authentic character explorations over identity checklists or boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film certainly delves into some dark corners and critiques aspects of American culture, it isn’t out to rewrite the rules of family, masculinity, or tradition in a modern ideological light. If anything, it’s a glimpse at unconventional individuality, warts and all.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s minimal evidence of an ideological monoculture here. The film portrays a diversity of eccentric, even troubling, viewpoints without policing them through a particular moral framework. Crumb’s worldview isn’t sanitized or given a modern veneer.
