What We Think

Love at First Sight is refreshingly non-woke for a recent rom-com. It features a bit of modern representation but doesn’t let ideology override heart, character, or story. Traditional values remain largely unscathed, resulting in a pretty gentle score.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film sticks to a classic rom-com structure and puts personality and chemistry at the forefront. There’s some mild focus on identity and modern social issues, but it doesn’t dominate screen time. The characters generally have room to grow, and casting choices don’t feel ham-fisted or entirely agenda-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Love at First Sight largely avoids dunking on traditional romance or family. It presents relationships and loss with respect and doesn’t spend time flipping cultural expectations for shock value. There’s little if any overt undermining of traditional values or gender roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While modern moral assumptions are present, alternative worldviews are not completely absent or vilified. There isn’t a strong, preachy message, and traditional perspectives aren’t strictly caricatured. The film feels comfortable with a generally mainstream take without hard ideological edge.
