What We Think

"Keeping the Faith" is refreshingly non-woke by contemporary standards, prioritizing character-driven storytelling and sincere engagement with faith and tradition. Any messages about inclusion or change come across as organic rather than preachy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film centers on interfaith friendship and romance, the characters are developed first and foremost as individuals. There's little evidence of forced representation or modern identity politics overtaking the narrative. The love triangle and dilemmas feel organic to the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The movie thoughtfully explores faith, tradition, and modernity without mocking or undermining religion or traditional values. If anything, it treats Catholicism, Judaism, and family with a degree of reverence, even as characters face personal choices that stretch boundaries.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are represented respectfully. Characters openly debate faith, celibacy, and love. The story avoids caricatured villains and shows pluralism rather than pushing a monocultural message of 2000s-era progressivism.
