What We Think

Hummingbird is just about as non-woke as modern films get, gritty, character-driven, and free of forced messaging, it delivers a story that stays grounded in classic traditions and real human flaws.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hummingbird focuses primarily on character development, redemption arcs, and gritty realism. Identity markers like race, gender, or sexuality are not emphasized over plot or role, and casting appears driven by story fit. The film’s narrative feels organic with minimal sign of forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like masculinity, moral struggle, religion, and questions of family responsibility are present, even if the protagonist is complex and flawed. There’s no heavy-handed subversion of classic cultural values or gender dynamics; the film’s take on these issues feels more old-school than revisionist.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents multiple perspectives, including tradition, faith, and societal breakdown without mocking dissenting voices or reducing contrary views to caricature. It doesn’t promote a singular worldview, there’s nuance, internal conflict, and moral ambiguity throughout.
