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

In Darkness mostly steers clear of the typical Hollywood woke meter, sticking to suspense and character-driven storytelling. Traditional norms aren't targeted, and characters are defined by their actions rather than identity checklists. Refreshingly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In Darkness is a thriller that keeps its focus on plot and suspense over identity politics. Characters are developed based on their roles within the story rather than being defined by demographic traits. No obvious sacrifices of narrative integrity for the sake of ideology were apparent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't seem particularly interested in subverting traditional family, religion, or masculinity themes. Instead, it leans into classic noir archetypes and genre conventions, avoiding overt reinterpretation or undermining of cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is minimal evidence of a one-sided presentation of modern ideological perspectives. The film stays within its suspense-thriller lane and doesn't caricature traditional worldviews or turn them into villains for ideological reasons.
