Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dream Horse tells a based-on-true-events story with an emphasis on ordinary people coming together. Characters are developed based on personality and real-world merit, not identity boxes. There's little sense of forced representation or characters being rendered flawless. The film’s focus remains on hope, perseverance, and rural community, refreshingly non-woke.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film celebrates family, hard work, and the strength of small-town Welsh culture. Traditional values and dynamics are neither mocked nor undermined, and there's no subversion of masculinity or rewriting of tradition. In fact, it leans into cultural heritage as a source of pride.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film spotlights working-class perseverance, it steers clear of overt ideological preaching or ridiculing alternative viewpoints. Characters have varying motivations, and the narrative leaves space for pluralism. There are no caricatured antagonists representing traditional views.
