What We Think

'Into the Forest' leans hard into a female-centric narrative that sidelines traditional family and gender roles for a modern survival story. Its lack of viewpoint diversity and embrace of contemporary feminist themes put its woke score above average.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film heavily centers on two sisters' survival without much involvement from male characters, which some may interpret as prioritizing female empowerment over realistic group dynamics in a crisis. The story at times appears structured to emphasize their independence, though the characters do face challenges and development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and gender roles are essentially set aside: the father is quickly removed, and masculinity is largely absent or portrayed as threatening. The women's journey is depicted as a positive evolution away from dependency on traditional structures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There's little room for alternative worldviews, masculinity is marginalized, and traditional domestic structures are either absent or depicted as obsolete. All positive character growth follows distancing from old-fashioned values, with no real debate or nuance shown.
