Don't Let Go2019

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

'Don't Let Go' sits in the mildly woke zone. Its diverse cast and semi-contemporary moral lens are present, but the story prioritizes emotion and suspense over overt activism. Nothing egregious, but definitely within the current mainstream Hollywood mold.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film centers race as a feature of its main characters but doesn't make identity the sole focus. While the cast is notably diverse, it feels organic to the story world. It occasionally flirts with emphasizing identity over nuanced character, but overall the plot and emotional stakes come first.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Family bonds are central to the story, and traditional values such as loyalty and sacrifice are present. There's little in the way of undermining faith, masculinity, or cultural roots, though the handling of authority figures is somewhat heavy-handed.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While the film does not overtly mock dissenting worldviews, traditional perspectives are backgrounded, and the plotlines mostly operate within modern Hollywood sensibilities. Moral questions are treated more as genre conventions than honest debates.
