Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on realistic, well-rounded characters and personal struggles rather than shoehorning in identity politics. The casting and character development appear to serve the story, rather than ideology. It’s an introspective drama, with few signs of forced representation or over-the-top empowerment arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While 'Dark Blue Almost Black' explores themes of family, career, and loyalty, it doesn’t aggressively undermine tradition. Family and responsibility are treated with complexity, not disdain, and masculinity isn’t lampooned. This isn’t a film intent on rewriting cultural history for modern ideological consumption.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film provides a nuanced look at characters facing difficult choices, without demonizing any particular worldview. Traditional and alternative perspectives are both given consideration, making for a more balanced and pluralistic narrative landscape.
