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

Flow earns a perfect non-woke score; it’s a rare example of pure storytelling unencumbered by present-day ideological concerns. It’s just animals, nature, and a journey, something refreshingly simple in today’s cinematic landscape.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Flow is an animated feature told entirely from the perspective of animals and notably lacks explicit dialogue or overt human-centric identity politics. There is no clear evidence of forced representation or prioritizing ideology over storytelling. The narrative appears to focus on universal, nonpolitical themes of survival and community.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Given the absence of human characters and any commentary on religion, family, masculinity, or morality, the film steers clear of subverting traditional cultural foundations. Its animal-centric view is apolitical and largely neutral regarding cultural issues.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no discernible ideological messaging. As a nearly wordless animal ensemble, 'Flow' does not portray any explicit worldview, nor does it villainize or mock alternative perspectives.
