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

Everest is about as non-woke as modern Hollywood gets. It's an earnest survival drama that leaves the token politics at base camp and simply tries to tell a harrowing true story. A rare mountain in today's cinematic landscape!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Everest stays faithful to its true story, focusing on human endurance and the dangers of nature. There's no obvious indication that casting or character arcs were driven by identity politics, and personality, skill, and realism take center stage.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like courage, teamwork, masculinity, and family ties are treated with respect. There's little to no evidence that masculinity or tradition is subverted or mocked. This is straight-laced, classic adventure drama territory.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't center on ideological themes. It avoids soapbox moments and shows characters as flawed humans rather than mouthpieces for any modern political worldview. Viewers seeking ideological conformity will come away empty-handed.
