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

"Havana" is a relic from a less politicized filmmaking era. Characters are flawed, the story isn’t hijacked by social agendas, and there’s genuine narrative tension. Quite refreshing, honestly.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From what we can see, "Havana" focuses on its main character (a male American gambler) without sacrificing narrative for identity politics. Characters are cast in ways that align with the story’s time, place, and themes, rather than current DEI trends. No sense of forced representation here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film portrays traditional concepts like masculinity, romance, and mid-century values without subversion. There's no obvious attack on family, religion, or classic morality. It's a classic, old-school approach that reminds you that not every film needs to make a culture war statement.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence of ideological monoculture; alternative perspectives are shown through personal choices and political contexts. The film avoids cartoonish villainization of 'traditional' views and doesn't force all characters to adopt a modern, progressive lens.
