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

Dragonfly is a relic from before Hollywood got swept up in wokeness. Its focus on personal grief and faith over identity boxes makes it refreshingly non-woke. If only more recent films had this approach.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dragonfly sticks to classic supernatural thriller territory, focusing on grief, faith, and the afterlife rather than any identity politics. Characters are developed based on their story roles, not shoehorned representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats spirituality, death, family, and religious belief with sincerity. There's no attempt to mock tradition or subvert core family or religious values, the story deeply involves a spouse's faith and the protagonist's emotional journey.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews around faith, skepticism, and the afterlife are all treated thoughtfully. No obvious agenda, caricatured dissenters, or preachy ideological monoculture detected, just a supernatural drama exploring big questions fairly.
