What We Think

Davaro is about as far from 'woke' as you can get, traditional, rooted in its time, and uninterested in today’s identity politics. Its values and storytelling feel like a breath of fresh, non-woke air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Davaro stays rooted in traditional storytelling, with character motivations based on personal, familial, and social context, rather than any modern ideological identity markers. The film focuses on narrative and humor tied to rural Turkish life, not performative diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats institutions like family and marriage as central, without mocking masculinity or long-standing traditions. Religion and traditional values are depicted authentically, in line with the era and culture, not as punchlines or outdated relics.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While alternative worldviews aren't a major focus, this reflects the setting rather than an agenda. The film doesn't lampoon tradition or impose a uniform ideological stance. Characters debate within their social world, not along modern 'woke' lines.
