I Give It a Year2013

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

"I Give It a Year" mostly sidesteps modern woke trends. Its barbs are more about the foibles of marriage than identity or ideology. If you’re avoiding “woke” content, this film is safe and relatively untainted by contemporary cultural preaching.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a straightforward rom-com and doesn’t emphasize identity politics over character or story. Characters are written for comedic effect, not as representatives of sociopolitical groups. No obvious forced diversity or ideological box-ticking here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While it pokes fun at marriage and modern relationships, the film doesn’t go out of its way to undermine traditional values. It treats relationships with cheeky cynicism rather than an overt agenda against marriage, family, or masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints around modern romance are shown, if playfully mocked. No one is overtly villainized for traditional perspectives, and there’s no harping about identity issues. The themes are more about the messiness of relationships than pushing doctrine.
