What We Think

‘In a Lonely Place’ is as non-woke as it gets. It focuses on character, story, and real human frailty rather than shoehorning in modern politics or progressive messaging. A breath of cinematic fresh air if you’re weary of today’s forced representation.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s characters are defined by personality and human flaws, not by modern identity traits. There’s no sign of forced representation; casting reflects the era. Narrative choices serve the story instead of promoting 2020s ideology. If anything, it’s refreshingly direct and authentic by today’s standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

‘In a Lonely Place’ depicts masculinity and romantic relationships in a manner true to its time: flawed, complex, and without any sense of current-year preaching. Traditional values and social norms are simply presented, not critiqued or subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While hardly showcasing diverse perspectives, the film doesn’t push modern orthodoxy. There’s no overt critique of traditional mindsets or villainization of non-progressive values. Debates center on the characters’ morals, not societal ideology.
