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

Irreversible is the opposite of a ‘woke’ film, brutal, raw, and unconcerned with political correctness. Its controversies stem from its shocking content, not from forced ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Irreversible is known for its raw, provocative storytelling and uncompromising approach. There's little evidence of forced representation or emphasis on identity over personal narrative. The film's form and content exist to shock and challenge, not to push woke ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film portrays brutality, trauma, and moral collapse without shoehorning in modern ideological debates about religion, family, or gender. Any subversion of cultural norms is in service to its dark themes, not as a sermon on contemporary social values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Irreversible is infamous for its nihilism, not ideological monoculture. There is no overt pushing of today's hot-button ideological consensus, nor are traditional views cartoonishly villainized. It’s too bleak and disturbing for typical ‘woke’ fairy dust.
