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

'Jenny’s Wedding' checks nearly every box for a highly woke production: identity-driven narrative, subversion of traditional values, and little narrative space for dissent. This one is for the ‘woke’ hall of fame.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film’s primary focus is identity and sexual orientation, with the plot revolving almost entirely around a lesbian wedding. Character motivations and family conflict lean heavily on ideological themes rather than nuanced character development or broader issues.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

'Jenny’s Wedding' very directly challenges traditional values, especially family structures, religion, and conventional marriage. Much of the film highlights the perceived backwardness of those who struggle to accept non-traditional unions, positioning opposition as ignorance or bigotry.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The majority of alternative views in the film are quickly painted as obstacles to be overcome, with little space given to nuanced debate or perspectives. Dissenters are often portrayed as unreasonably stubborn, leaving little room for genuine ideological pluralism.
