Eyes Wide Shut1999

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

Eyes Wide Shut is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on adult issues, psychological realism, and moral ambiguity instead of pushing modern ideological narratives or performative representation.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is driven by character complexity and psychological exploration, not identity quotas. Casting and character motivations are rooted in realism rather than ideology, and the story remains focused on marital tension and personal temptation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Some may see the film as critical of bourgeois marriage and traditional morality, but it mainly uses these themes to explore adult relationships and vulnerability, not to undermine cultural foundations outright. Religion, family, and masculinity are depicted complexly rather than derisively.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s worldview is ambiguously layered, with no obvious political message or demonization of traditional perspectives. Characters wrestle with moral ambiguity rather than parroting a uniform ideology.
