Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on individual characters and their personal reactions to the apocalypse, without overemphasizing race, gender, or identity politics. Character actions and dilemmas feel organic, with little sign of forced representation or flawless, agenda-driven writing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the story doesn't lean heavily into religion or traditional institutions, it doesn't actively mock or subvert them either. Families and relationships are depicted earnestly, with a range of perspectives on morality and meaning.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

"Last Night" provides a mix of viewpoints and refrains from painting dissenters or traditionalists as caricatures. There's genuine plurality in how characters choose to face the end, rather than the usual, preachy ideological echo chamber.
