What We Think

'Into the Night' is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. It cares more about fun, eccentric storytelling than checking any ideological boxes or reworking cultural foundations.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Into the Night' puts story and character quirks ahead of any identity politics. Casting and character focus are about entertainment rather than shoehorning in agenda-driven representation. The film leans on old-school narrative tropes: a hapless everyman and a mysterious woman, pretty traditional, really.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This is a breezy 1980s comedy thriller, not a platform for subverting cultural institutions. Masculinity, romance, and family are played straight, with neither traditional values lampooned nor sermonized. The movie is more interested in nocturnal hijinks than revising cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no shortage of oddball characters and perspectives, none of whom seem to champion any overt modern ideology. The story doesn't villainize traditional views; it's too busy having fun with genre clichés and absurd coincidences.
