What We Think

Deportees is about as non-woke as they come, steeped in traditional themes and humor. It neither preaches nor panders, refreshingly free of Hollywood-style identity politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Deportees" relies on humor, slapstick, and character quirks rather than identity-based storytelling. The film's cast and plot feel organic to its setting, with little sign of forced representation or ideological-driven character construction.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie leans on traditional themes like friendship, loyalty, and cultural pride, often poking fun at Western influence without undermining Iranian religious or family values. Masculinity and traditional values are generally portrayed in a playful but ultimately positive light.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives (such as Western influence) are mocked, but within a comedic and contextually fitting Iranian lens. The film doesn't aggressively push a modern ideological monoculture; if anything, it leans on national and cultural pride.
