Girlhood2014

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

Girlhood lands squarely in the 'woke' camp, prioritizing identity-driven stories and progressive themes over balanced representation or narrative subtlety. Expect a heavy dose of modern socio-political commentary.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Girlhood places strong emphasis on identity and social themes, often centering race, gender, and economic status as defining aspects of the characters. In our view, personal growth and conflict sometimes take a backseat to messaging, with representation feeling more programmatic than organic at times.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional institutions like family and masculinity are often pushed aside, with the narrative focusing on empowerment through rebellion against these structures. The film seems to critique, if not outright undermine, traditional values without presenting them in a balanced light.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or non-progressive worldviews are largely absent, and any opposing voices are depicted more as obstacles than as perspectives worthy of engagement. The ideological tone is fairly uniform, pushing specific contemporary views with little debate.
