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

"Jojo Rabbit" leans into satire, critiquing extremism more than promoting modern ideological trends. Its focus is historical and anti-hate rather than pushing overtly 'woke' narratives. Not a bastion of traditionalism, but not a woke overload either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Jojo Rabbit" has a quirky narrative, it mostly sticks to its satirical roots without shoehorning modern identity politics into the story. Characters are developed based on their circumstances, and the focus remains on personal growth rather than forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film satirizes Nazi Germany, which inherently subverts extremist traditions, but it doesn't broadly attack traditional family or religious values. It does challenge authoritarianism and indoctrination, but not in a way most would consider aggressively modern or 'woke.'

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There is critique of hate-driven ideology, and alternative perspectives are mocked mainly through the Nazi parody. However, the film offers moments of empathy for characters on various sides. There's nuance, but not a full embrace of pluralism.
