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

Every Day is a textbook example of modern filmmaking that puts progressive ideology front and center, with little patience for tradition or nuance. The story bends over backward to normalize fluidity and non-traditional identity at the expense of narrative and depth. Definitely on the higher side of the woke spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Every Day's premise hinges on a genderless, body-hopping entity and its romantic interactions with a teenage girl. In our view, this focus on identity characteristics over substantive character development skews narrative integrity, putting message ahead of meaningful storytelling or grounded emotion.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film sidesteps traditional notions of gender, sexuality, and even physical embodiment, with the central romance bypassing conventional ideas of attraction, family, or morality. It could be seen as undermining the very concept of rooted identity and long-standing cultural values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative views on identity, gender, and romance barely receive any serious airtime. The film's world seems to present modern progressive assumptions about love and identity as the only sensible path, with little internal debate or resistance.
