What We Think

Falling focuses more on authentic generational dynamics than woke box-ticking, resisting the urge to flatten its characters into symbols. While it doesn't shy from today’s culture clash topics, it does so with surprising nuance and fairness, refreshingly non-woke by current Hollywood standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers around real human drama and generational conflict, prioritizing flawed characters and nuanced development rather than pushing identity-driven plotlines. Personalities and skillsets take center stage rather than check-the-box representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film does not aggressively undermine traditional family or values, it presents intergenerational tensions over issues like masculinity and sexuality. Still, it offers a relatively balanced and empathetic portrayal of differing worldviews, rather than outright ridicule or dismissal.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't drive a single ideological narrative down the audience's throat. It sincerely presents both conservative and progressive attitudes, especially around sexuality, without heavy caricature or villainization. Both perspectives get a fair shake here.
