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 from the Side" scores high on the woke scale, with heavy emphasis on sexuality, reimagined masculinity, and a notable lack of traditional or dissenting viewpoints, hallmarks of a modern, ideology-first approach to storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film foregrounds the sexuality of its lead characters and makes their romantic involvement the primary focus, arguably overshadowing other potential avenues for character or plot development. This focus may come across as prioritizing identity over broader narrative complexity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like masculinity and fidelity are dramatically subverted, with the film portraying an environment where standard family values are largely absent or portrayed as constraining. Religion and traditional morality are sidelined in favor of a contemporary take on relationships and identity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative points of view or critiques of the central relationship dynamic (an extramarital affair) are barely represented. The narrative largely assumes the moral rightness of the protagonists’ choices, offering little room for traditional perspectives or debate.
