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

Gomorrah dodges just about every woke pitfall. It’s unflinching and honest, not a social sermon disguised as cinema. If only Hollywood remembered films can be this raw and forthright.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Gomorrah is gritty, hyper-realistic, and relentless in its depiction of Naples’ criminal underworld. Characters are defined by circumstance and moral ambiguity, not by box-checking identities. Storytelling comes first over ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pulls absolutely no punches about the decay of traditional structures under the Camorra’s rule, but it doesn’t set out to mock or subvert family, religion, or masculinity, just depicts a brutal reality. No woke rewriting here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no utopian messaging, virtue signaling, or one-size-fits-all morality. Just moral messiness and a dark, unsparing look at crime and society. Traditional and alternative perspectives all get tangled up in the chaos.
