What We Think

“Like Someone in Love” is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. It prioritizes story and character realism over identity box-ticking. If only more films stuck to this!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on nuanced character development and avoids prioritizing identity politics over authentic storytelling. Characters feel grounded and imperfect, with the plot unfolding naturally rather than being shaped by forced diversity or ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional cultural elements, such as family and generational tension, are explored without overtly undermining religion, masculinity, or morality. The film is more about personal alienation than pushing a modern ideological agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence of ideological uniformity. While modern themes are present, alternative viewpoints aren’t villainized or caricatured, everyone is portrayed with complexity and ambiguity, reflecting real life rather than a one-sided message.
