Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Leaves of Grass" is largely a character-driven film, with its twin-brother setup rooted in classical duality rather than modern identity themes. The casting and character arcs appear to serve story and personality over any preoccupation with diversity checkboxes or ideological motives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film engages with themes like family, morality, religion, and rural culture in a satirical yet nuanced way. While there is some critique of tradition and human flaws, it doesn’t seem to undermine cultural foundations so much as explore them from a human perspective.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While poking fun at certain aspects of Southern culture and academia, the film contains a mix of viewpoints among characters. There is no clear ideological monoculture or villainization of traditional perspectives, allowing for a healthy diversity of opinion.
