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

Let It Be is about as non-woke as it gets. It's a candid, unfiltered look at a band making music, uninterested in identity politics or modern ideological trends. A true relic of a pre-woke Hollywood era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Let It Be is a straightforward documentary chronicling the Beatles’ recording sessions. There's no evidence of identity-driven casting or plot contortions, it's just four musicians being themselves, flaws and all. There's no forced representation or ideological posturing here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, religion, and tradition are not mocked or undermined in this documentary. The film is very much a time capsule of its era, focusing on the band's dynamic and creative process without moralizing or subverting any classic values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no discernible ideological messaging, nor are alternative views marginalized or mocked. The Beatles’ intra-band disagreements are over music, not values. The film doesn’t push any kind of modern ideological narrative.
