Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Emelie’s plot centers on suspense and psychological thrills, with characters written for their role in the story rather than as vehicles for identity politics. There’s no noticeable symbolic casting or prioritization of diversity for its own sake. The storytelling remains focused on plot and tension.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t appear to mock or subvert traditional family structures. In fact, it treats family and parental concern as essential to the plot, without overt messages targeting masculinity, religion, or core morality. Nothing stands out as particularly revisionist or deconstructive.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t heavily caricatured or maligned here; it’s a psychological thriller with universal themes. There’s no overt political messaging, and the characters seem to have realistic disagreements and motivations.
