Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Deadly Illusions puts story and suspense first, and identity factors do not appear to override character development or plot. Characters' backgrounds and casting choices seem motivated by narrative rather than ideology. There are no obviously forced representation choices or flawless, consequence-free diverse characters in this film.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like motherhood and marriage are central, and family dynamics are explored without overt undermining of faith, masculinity, or morality. The approach to gender roles is more in line with standard genre tropes than modern ideological revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not go out of its way to mock or villainize traditional perspectives. There’s no heavy-handed messaging, and characters exhibit a range of motivations and behaviors. Alternative worldviews aren't erased or reduced to caricature.
