What We Think

"Evening" is about as non-woke as you’ll find from the past two decades. Its focus is on timeless, personal themes rather than ideological spectacle, refreshingly free of modern narrative tampering. Hollywood could use a return to this kind of storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Evening" focuses on personal relationships, regrets, and the emotional complexities of its characters, rather than ticking modern representation boxes. Character backgrounds and motivations are more grounded in drama than in forced identity agendas. There is no sense that character traits are emphasized over personality or skills for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely respects traditional family dynamics, grappling with themes of motherhood, friendship, and love without overtly undermining or mocking those values. There’s little evidence of gender role subversion or attacks on religion, tradition, or masculinity. It’s a far cry from today's typical ‘culture-flipping’ exercises.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are not villainized or mocked; the characters’ perspectives are firmly rooted in the story’s time period and are not used as stand-ins for modern ideological debates. There’s no obvious agenda at play or ideological monologue dominating the film.
