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

Deep Water is more interested in erotic thrills and psychological games than making a statement. It avoids most major woke tendencies, sticking close to noir roots without ideological overkill.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Deep Water sticks mainly to telling its story of marital strife and psychological manipulation without shoehorning in identity-based casting or forced representation. Characters are flawed, complex, and driven by plot and personality, not by overt ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film engages with themes of marriage and infidelity, it doesn’t aggressively mock traditional values or masculinity. The story shows interpersonal dysfunction rather than taking shots at religion, family, or older social norms in a heavy-handed way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s little overt messaging pushing a singular worldview. The film doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives or systematically exclude dissenting ideas; instead, it focuses on the dark, messy dynamics between flawed adults.
