What We Think

'Day of the Woman' leans more on shock and exploitation than woke ideology. Modern political messaging is nearly absent; if anything, it's an old-school, raw film that today would make both sides wince.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film, better known as 'I Spit on Your Grave,' is a raw and brutal exploitation film. While its female lead exacts revenge, the narrative is primarily driven by shock value rather than ideological box-ticking. Character backgrounds and skills aren't chosen based on modern identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The movie subverts traditional gender roles via its revenge plot, but it’s less about ideology and more about sensationalism. Masculinity isn't pathologized so much as depicted as monstrous within the context, the approach here seems less agenda-driven and more designed for controversy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives do exist, but they're intentionally vile for narrative impact. There's no sense of ideological groupthink; instead, it's a revenge shocker without modern monocultural messaging or forced consensus among characters.
