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

Death at a Funeral keeps things refreshingly non-woke, focusing on traditional, character-based humor. It sidesteps the contemporary checklists of representation for genuine farce and slapstick, making it a relic of the pre-woke comedy era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a classic farce with a focus on awkward family moments, dark comedy, and character-driven mishaps. Casting and character arcs are motivated by story and humor, not an overt emphasis on identity. Representation feels incidental rather than forced, contributing to genuine comedic tension.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Death at a Funeral pokes fun at family dysfunction and British customs in a lighthearted way, but doesn't portray traditional values as inherently negative. Masculinity, religion, and family are played for laughs, not as targets for ideological critique. There's no major attempt to undermine cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't have an overt ideological message, nor does it caricature alternative viewpoints. Instead, it focuses on universal comedic themes and pokes fun at human foibles rather than specific belief systems or social constructs.
