Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on the true story of John Callahan’s journey through addiction and recovery, with character depth prioritized over identity politics. Casting and development seem rooted in authenticity, not in forced representation or ideological box-ticking. This is a rare non-woke gem by modern standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film depicts flawed characters and tough personal journeys, it does not overtly undermine religion, family, or masculinity. The focus is more on individual struggle and redemption than on subverting traditional values or pushing cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There are some subtle nods to modern perspectives, but a range of worldviews are represented, from support groups to skeptical friends. Alternative perspectives are not villainized, and there’s no heavy-handed moral lecturing intruding into the narrative.
