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

K-PAX is refreshingly non-woke by today's standards, steering clear of forced representation, trendy ideology, or cultural revisionism. Its focus on real human struggles means it barely registers on the woke-o-meter. A rare, subtle gem.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

K-PAX centers on themes of psychology, belief, and the human condition, focusing squarely on character depth and storytelling rather than shoehorning in identity politics. The main characters are chosen for story fit rather than to fulfill any representation quota.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does grapple with topics such as trauma and mental health but doesn't take potshots at tradition, masculinity, or religion. Family, humanity, and care are explored in a nuanced way, without the modern urge to undermine cultural roots.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, science, spirituality, skepticism, are depicted genuinely throughout. There’s no demonization or mocking of traditional perspectives, and the film offers space for different interpretations, reflecting a pluralistic approach.
