What We Think

"Irresistible" serves up a spoonful of satire with a healthy side of woke signaling. While it bills itself as bipartisan, the film’s messaging and characterizations tend to flatten traditional viewpoints and frame one ideological outlook as supreme. Not exactly a bastion of non-woke filmmaking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film leans into caricature, prioritizing political messaging over nuanced storytelling. Characters are often defined by their ideological roles, so the plot feels engineered to serve a message rather than organic character arcs. The satire sometimes overshadows genuine human complexity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values and institutions, especially rural America and family ties, are played up mainly for ironic or comedic effect. The film paints small-town culture through a cosmopolitan lens, with frequent jabs at conservative sensibilities while valorizing outsider perspectives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Dissenting or traditional viewpoints are reduced to stereotypes, with little meaningful representation of non-progressive ideas. The humor consistently targets one side while the other is implicitly portrayed as enlightened, reflecting a lack of authentic pluralism.
