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 the Cut" dabbles in modern themes of female autonomy and sexuality, but does not aggressively push ideology at the expense of story. Its approach is more art-house than agitprop, with enough grit and ambiguity to keep things mostly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "In the Cut" does center on a female protagonist and explores themes of female sexuality and vulnerability, it maintains a gritty, character-driven narrative. The film doesn't obviously sacrifice plot for ideology, though some may interpret the focus on female agency as heavy-handed at times. Overall, the narrative remains intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film presents a bleak view of relationships and intimacy, emphasizing female perspectives and sexual autonomy. Traditional masculinity is both explored and critiqued, and traditional family or moral foundations are somewhat sidelined, though not overtly mocked. Some viewers might find this a modern, post-structuralist take.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't demonized, but the film does primarily advance a modern, urban sensibility focused on female self-discovery. There is little sincere representation of more traditional perspectives, but caricaturing or villainization is not a main feature.
