What We Think

Kramer vs. Kramer is practically an endangered species in Hollywood these days: a film that puts authentic drama above any whiff of 'woke.' A must-watch for those who miss nuanced, non-ideological storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kramer vs. Kramer primarily focuses on character depth, emotional realism, and a very human story about family breakdown. Casting and character traits serve the story first. Themes of identity politics or forced representation are completely absent; it's all about organic character growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film actually explores traditional themes like fatherhood, responsibility, and family, showing the growth of a father learning to care for his son. While it does show a mother seeking self-fulfillment, it doesn't bash family or tradition, if anything, it highlights their importance through struggle.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s an honest debate about gender roles without clear villainization. Both parents are shown with strengths and flaws. The story invites sympathy for both mother and father, reflecting real-life pluralism rather than ideological uniformity. You just won’t find modern woke monologuing here.
