What We Think

Little Bone Lodge is a rarity these days: a character-driven thriller that prioritizes atmosphere and suspense over modern ideological trends. For non-woke viewers, it’s a breath of fresh air in a Hollywood landscape that’s usually more preachy than thrilling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Little Bone Lodge keeps its focus on psychological tension and family secrets rather than shoehorning in identity politics. Characters are developed based on their roles and relationships, not to tick diversity checkboxes. No forced representation or obvious box-ticking here, refreshing for a modern film.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie actually centers around classic themes, family secrets, loyalty, and morality. Traditional family dynamics and masculinity aren't subverted or mocked, and faith isn’t gratuitously derided. If anything, it leans into old-fashioned thriller territory with its exploration of morality and violence.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little sign of ideological preaching. The story explores psychological complexity rather than hammering home modern political messages. While progressive themes are largely absent, the film lets its characters exist without shoving a singular worldview down our throats.
