Equus1977

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

Equus is almost a time capsule of non-woke storytelling, complex, uncomfortable, and unafraid to probe deep human questions without resorting to forced modern sensibilities. If only Hollywood dared stick to this script more often these days.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Equus is deeply character-driven and themes of psychology, faith, and obsession are explored without any overt focus on modern identity politics. Casting and characterization are in line with the story’s demands, not representation checklists. Frankly, it’s old school drama all the way.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film does challenge and question religion and family authority, it does so in a thoughtful, philosophical manner, not as a modern ideological jab. There’s no open mockery or revisionist sneering, just classic existential angst and confrontation.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Equus presents competing spiritual views and complex moral debates. Traditional perspectives and inner turmoil are on full display. No ideological echo chamber here; the characters grapple with faith and reason, not dogmatic modern platitudes.
