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 Move is what you’d call decidedly non-woke: it’s not interested in ticking diversity boxes or lecturing viewers. Instead, it delivers a gritty, human story that examines ethically messy ground, keeping modern ideological posturing to a minimum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on complex characters and challenging moral dilemmas rather than identity-driven narratives. There’s no sense that casting or character focus is driven by modern ideological trends; the story remains firmly rooted in individual psychology and drama.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is nuanced critique of traditional relationships, but family, religion, and masculinity aren’t outright mocked. The film is more about flawed humans than cultural subversion. It’s not trying to upend Western traditions or morality for the sake of modernity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film settles on a fairly bleak worldview, it offers room for questioning, moral ambiguity, and self-reflection. Alternative perspectives are given some space, rather than being cartoonishly villainized or excluded outright.
