Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a father's struggle to raise his daughter after tragedy, with strong emphasis on character, emotional complexity, and personal hardship. It doesn't appear to sacrifice narrative for ideology or insert forced representation irrelevant to its 1980s setting. The characters are grounded and flawed, not unreasonably idealized.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes of family, fatherhood, personal sacrifice, and forgiveness are central. Masculinity and parenthood are treated respectfully, without derision or subversion. The film does not attempt to undermine religion, tradition, or family structures in any significant way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film avoids preachiness and provides room for personal struggle and growth without demonizing alternative perspectives. Conflict is driven by trauma and human flaw, not identity politics or caricatured villains representing 'unwoke' views.
