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

Flee is a poster child for modern 'woke' filmmaking: identity and ideology take center stage, and traditional frameworks are quickly jettisoned in favor of a contemporary, intersectional narrative. Diversity of thought is conspicuously missing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Flee places strong emphasis on the central character's identity as both a refugee and a gay man, making these elements more prominent than traditional character depth or broader universal themes. The narrative seems crafted to spotlight intersectional experiences, often at the expense of a more nuanced or multifaceted storyline.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film presents traditional notions of family, religion, and masculinity as sources of conflict or repression, while embracing modern, progressive values as liberating. This framing frequently undercuts cultural continuity and presents established norms as outdated or harmful.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially more traditional ones, are almost entirely absent or depicted as obstacles. There is little attempt at ideological pluralism, and the sympathy is drawn exclusively towards a very modern, western worldview.
