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

HOMECOMING: A film by Beyoncé is about as woke as a music documentary can get, leaning hard into identity, empowerment, and a single worldview, while sidelining traditional cultural norms and pluralistic perspectives.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film’s narrative is heavily centered on cultural identity and empowerment themes, often prioritizing these messages over the exploration of broader, universal experiences or musical performance nuances. Representation and social commentary are foregrounded, sometimes overshadowing artistic or technical achievements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional frameworks, such as family, religion, and gender roles, are largely reinterpreted or sidelined in favor of progressive commentary on empowerment and breaking social norms. Some viewers may see this as an intentional reworking of established cultural expectations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, particularly those at odds with Beyoncé’s social messaging, are either absent or depicted unsympathetically. The film clearly leans into one ideological perspective, offering little space for pluralism or genuine debate.
