What We Think

"Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" is impressively non-woke by modern standards. It’s focused on universal themes of self-improvement, not lecturing on identity or social theory. About as neutral and inoffensive as a health documentary can get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses almost entirely on personal health and transformation, emphasizing individual responsibility rather than identity politics. There's no apparent focus on diversity casting or sacrificing story for ideology, just a man and his juicer.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, such as personal accountability and family, are neither mocked nor really addressed. The cultural conversation is about health, not societal or ideological debates. There’s certainly no subversion of masculinity or faith here, just a straightforward wellness journey.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This film doesn’t promote a particular ideological agenda, nor does it villainize differing worldviews. If anything, it sticks to the classic message: get healthy through your own choices. Viewers of all backgrounds are likely to see this as non-political.
