What We Think

"Flowers in the Attic" (2014) is more twisted soap opera than modern woke treatise. It largely avoids pushing modern identity politics, with dysfunction drawn straight from its original novel. The focus is on melodrama, not ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a dysfunctional family trapped by secrets and trauma, but doesn't push race, gender, or sexuality themes over character or story. Narrative choices feel primarily rooted in drama and suspense rather than ideological statements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures are depicted as deeply flawed and even dangerous, but this is drawn from the source material rather than tacked-on ideology. There isn't much commentary on masculinity, religion, or broader traditions beyond what's needed for the gothic atmosphere.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are present in the characters' conflicted reactions to their circumstances; there isn't any heavy-handed portrayal of modern ideological conformity or villainization of dissenters.
