What We Think

"Look Both Ways" leans into modern, empowerment-first messaging and steers clear of traditional values, presenting an overwhelmingly woke perspective. Viewers looking for more pluralism or classic storytelling might find it all a bit uniform and ideologically loaded.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film centers heavily on female identity and career empowerment, often placing these themes above nuanced character development. In our view, the focus on representation and personal growth sometimes comes at the expense of deep storytelling tension, with few real flaws or struggles for the protagonist beyond predictable personal crossroads.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures and morality are downplayed, with the film prioritizing career over settling down or parenthood. Masculinity and long-standing values barely register. It appears that marriage and motherhood are treated as just one equal option among many, which could be seen as undermining classic cultural frameworks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, like family-first or traditional roles, are not sincerely explored and disagreements are superficial. The film’s environment feels ideologically uniform, with modern empowerment cast as the unchallenged norm. Dissenting perspectives are largely absent and those that do appear are glossed over or gently mocked.
