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

Lemmy is about as non-woke as it gets, a throwback celebration of an unapologetic rock legend, uninterested in trendy politics or checkbox representation. For those nostalgic for when films just told a story, this one’s refreshingly direct.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Lemmy is a straightforward, personality-driven documentary that centers on Lemmy Kilmister’s life and career without shoehorning modern identity politics or forced representation. The focus is kept on the subject’s unique persona and impact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely celebrates traditional rock 'n' roll values, rebellion, personal liberty, and rough-around-the-edges masculinity. There’s no contemporary subversion of family, gender roles, or traditional moral questions to be found.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The documentary avoids lecturing or filtering its story through a single ideological lens. It's a no-nonsense celebration of a true rock icon, with no modern ideological groupthink or overt villainization of counterpoints.
