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

'IF' serves up a safe, modern fairytale with obligatory nods to current sensibilities. It’s more cutesy than confrontational, but the ideological gloss can’t be missed. Not the wokest culprit in Hollywood, yet certainly more Disneyfied than daring.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

'IF' leans into the imagination-and-family-friendly genre, but in our view, it shows some of the tell-tale signs of box-checking for diversity. While generally lighthearted, there are moments where character identity comes off as more foregrounded than narrative depth, though it doesn't take over the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Family, friendship, and childhood innocence remain central, however, traditional family units and parental roles are fairly downplayed. Masculine figures are present but softened, and the emphasis skews heavily toward emotional expression and 'chosen family.' Not overtly anti-tradition but noticeably modernized.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There isn’t much room for differing worldviews here, most characters align with starry-eyed, inclusive thinking, and alternatives aren’t sincerely explored. Still, it’s not aggressively preachy or villainizing, just blandly harmonious by design.
