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

'Extra Ordinary' is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on eccentric characters, ghostly comedy, and Irish folklore rather than social engineering. A rare modern film that dares to just entertain.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's characters are quirky and diverse in personality, but not in the modern 'checklist' sense. Casting seems based on comedic or storytelling fit, not forced representation. The narrative focuses more on ghostly antics than identity politics, rare these days. Nothing much gets sacrificed for an ideological statement.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'Extra Ordinary' actually pokes fun at both men and women equally. Traditional Irish folklore is central to the plot, and things like family and rural life are shown as endearing if a bit eccentric. No preachy gender subversion or reckless historical revisionism detected.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no heavy-handed political messages or monocultural moralizing here. Characters are allowed to be flawed and debate the supernatural without it devolving into grand statements about our current era's obsessions.
