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

Edmond is a gritty, nihilistic character piece uninterested in woke checkboxes, more concerned with messiness than messaging. Non-woke viewers will find little to irritate them here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a character-driven descent into chaos, emphasizing personal failings and psychological breakdown rather than ticking identity boxes. Characters are defined by flawed personalities and moral ambiguity, not identity factors or modern ideological mandates.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like masculinity, existential dread, and the consequences of personal choices are explored, sometimes uncomfortably, but not outrightly undermined. Religion and family aren’t focal points, but the story isn’t trying to 'correct' tradition either.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Edmond is a bleak story with characters representing a range of worldviews, even if none are fully endorsed. There’s no evident push for a single modern ideological perspective; in fact, the film is far more interested in human ugliness than virtue signaling.
