Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Everything Must Go is a straightforward character study focused on personal downfall and redemption, with the central character, played by Will Ferrell, defined by his flaws and humanity rather than any identity politics. Representation choices are not forced, and character development is rooted in realism rather than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores struggles with addiction, job loss, and relationships without any apparent agenda against traditional values such as family, masculinity, or morality. It neither mocks traditional roles nor pushes cultural revisionism; rather, it depicts struggles in a fairly neutral or relatable context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are not villainized, and there’s little to no focus on hot-button ideological themes. Characters are nuanced, with differing perspectives, and the story resists painting any side as entirely right or wrong. There’s no ideological monoculture on display here.
