Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

As a personal documentary, the focus is on Lady Gaga's world and experiences, not shoehorning identity politics or forced representation. The narrative is more about her artistry, pain, and work ethic than ticking diversity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There are moments where traditional values are challenged, particularly around fame, body image, and pop culture. However, the film doesn't overtly attack religion, family, or traditional roles, remaining mostly centered on Gaga’s personal struggles and triumphs.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While Gaga herself embodies non-traditional values and progressive views, alternative worldviews aren’t mocked or villainized, there just isn’t much focus on them. The doc is more about her journey as an individual than promoting a specific ideology.
