Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Narrative integrity remains mostly intact; the film focuses on flawed middle-aged men grappling with grief. Character development is based on personal failings rather than identity factors. There’s little evidence of forced representation, and the cast reflects the natural social circles of the story’s time and place.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

This film is practically a time capsule of 1970s masculinity, warts and all. It deals earnestly with themes of friendship, family, and existential angst, without any heavy-handed subversion of gender roles or morality. Modern ideological reinterpretation is absent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present through the conflicting perspectives of the characters. While male-centric, there’s little sense of ideological uniformity. The narrative explores internal and social debates typical of the era, not pushing a modern ideological monoculture.
