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 See You" is about as far from a woke Hollywood lecture as you’ll get these days. The film focuses on suspense, flawed characters, and good old-fashioned mystery instead of worldview preaching. Blink and you’ll miss anything resembling woke messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "I See You" largely prioritizes suspense and mystery over any overt identity-driven storytelling. Characters are presented with human flaws and the narrative focuses on plot twists rather than checking diversity boxes or pushing ideological themes. No central focus is placed on race, gender, or sexuality at the expense of story integrity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics are a key theme, especially as the protagonist's family deals with infidelity and trust. There isn’t any obvious attempt to ridicule or undermine masculinity, religion, or longstanding cultural traditions. The film appears to treat these elements as serious components of character motivation rather than targets for subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological monoculture here. While no great debates over worldview occur, no viewpoints are aggressively mocked or simplified. Most characters are depicted as flawed individuals dealing with extraordinary circumstances, rather than archetypes designed to represent specific modern ideologies.
