Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses primarily on flawed, complex characters and is not pushed by modern identity politics. Its narrative is driven by personal struggles and realism rather than forced representation or ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film does challenge some traditional views on sexuality and morality, it doesn’t outright mock or pathologize family, religion, or masculinity. It feels more like a gritty character study than a cultural takedown.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are presented, and the film doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives in a cartoonish manner. There is room for debate and complexity, with multiple sides shown.
