Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film leans heavily into representing colonial oppression and modern exploitation, at times putting thematic messaging above nuanced characterization. While the story is engaging, some characters feel more like symbols for ideological points than fully developed individuals, which can compromise the narrative’s authenticity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

'Even the Rain' critiques colonialism, capitalism, and Western attitudes toward indigenous communities, often painting traditional power structures and Western religion in a negative light. The depiction of family and tradition takes a backseat to broader social themes, which may undermine more mainstream values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives largely receive one-dimensional or unsympathetic portrayals, with traditional or dissenting views rarely getting a fair shake. The ideological slant is hard to miss, characters generally align with a contemporary worldview on race and power,” with minimal internal debate or challenge.
