Lost and Delirious2001

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

"Lost and Delirious" puts a progressive lens on youthful love while still feeling more like a heartfelt drama than a box-checking exercise. There’s clear subversion of traditional norms, but the overall approach focuses more on the emotional journey than overt ideology. Moderately woke for its time, but not a modern sermon.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While the film focuses on a lesbian love story in a boarding school, it mostly grounds the characters in genuine emotion and personal conflict. However, moments may lean into identity as the narrative focal point. The drama is still more character-driven than a platform for overt message-pushing, so it’s moderate on this front.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and conservative attitudes are depicted as barriers to love and happiness, with the narrative largely positioning non-traditional relationships as more authentic or noble. This depiction could feel like it undermines cultural or family norms to some viewers.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative or dissenting views on sexuality and tradition are mainly shown as oppressive, with limited space given to explore those perspectives sympathetically. Still, the film does engage with internal conflict and consequences rather than simply flattening dissent into villainy.
