Cumali Ceber: Allah Seni Alsın2017

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

Cumali Ceber: Allah Seni Alsın is about as far from a ‘woke’ film as you’ll find. It’s an over-the-top comedy aimed at laughs, not lectures, with traditional characters and cultural norms front and center. No ideological grandstanding here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely prioritizes traditional slapstick and absurdist humor over any agenda-driven casting or messaging. There’s little focus on identity traits or forced representation; characters are cast for comedic effect rather than box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, Cumali Ceber exaggerates traditional Turkish cultural values and family structures, using them as sources of humor but without mocking or undermining them for ideological reasons. Masculinity and religion appear played for laughs but aren’t significantly deconstructed or subverted as a moral statement.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no discernible ideological monoculture here. Humor is broad, crude, and inclusive of many targets, but it does not enforce modern Western ‘woke’ pieties, nor does it villainize dissenting or traditional perspectives.
