What We Think

“Hello, My Name Is Doris” is refreshingly non-woke. It values quirky, personal storytelling over box-checking, and avoids both heavy-handed ideology and overt cultural subversion. This is a rare modern film that remembers movies can just be about people.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on an older female protagonist, but any focus on identity appears organic and character-driven rather than forced. There's no overt prioritizing of ideology over character or story, Doris is written with quirks, flaws, and vulnerabilities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and aging are explored sincerely. While urban hipster culture is portrayed, it doesn’t mock traditional roles or morals. The film treats Doris’ journey with empathy, rather than attempting to subvert or lampoon established norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, and while the film is obviously contemporary, it doesn’t lecture or villainize dissenters. Characters aren’t cartoonishly stereotyped for their views, and there’s genuine character tension and variety throughout.
