Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

"Gully" places heavy emphasis on racial and social identity, with storylines often prioritizing ideological messages about oppression over character-driven growth. Some viewers may feel that the narrative's bleak outlook and character arcs serve the film’s themes rather than organic storytelling, making identity seem at the forefront.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film critiques elements of traditional society, such as family stability, authority figures, and masculinity, in ways that come off as negative or pathologized. Some may interpret this as undermining classical values while elevating a rebellious, victim-focused worldview.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are minimal. Traditional or non-woke viewpoints are largely presented as sources of conflict or villains, while the film strongly centers on a single, modern ideological narrative around victimhood and systemic issues.
