What We Think

"Ingrid Goes West" is more of a sharp jab at social media obsession than a woke sermon. It lands a few jabs at millennial values but doesn't drive any heavy-handed social ideology. For viewers tired of Hollywood's usual woke parade, this is refreshingly restrained.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film mostly focuses on satirizing social media culture rather than pushing identity politics. Characters are quirky but not defined solely by identity markers, and the storyline puts personality flaws and consequences front-and-center. Forced representation and perfect, ideology-driven characters are basically absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and religion take a back seat, but aren't directly mocked or reinterpreted through a modern ideological lens. Masculinity isn't a central punching bag, if anything, the critiques target internet culture. There's a little undermining of rooted values, but nothing outrageously 'woke' by Hollywood standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Most of the film pokes fun at influencer culture and superficiality rather than promoting one-sided modern morals. While traditional worldviews aren't highlighted, dissent isn't blatantly villainized; the satire is directed at everyone's self-absorption. Alternative perspectives are light-touch, not sneered at or demonized.
