Love Is Strange2014

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

Love Is Strange leans heavily into its progressive messaging, critiquing traditional institutions and prioritizing identity issues, but presents its themes with enough realism to avoid feeling entirely preachy. Still, it tilts clearly toward the woke end of the spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a gay couple forced to live apart due to workplace discrimination, making identity a prominent driver of the story. While the characters are realistic and flawed, the plot's emphasis on societal attitudes sometimes overshadows traditional character development and broader narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film critiques the Catholic Church and explores alternative family arrangements while largely framing tradition and religious values as obstacles or sources of hardship, which may be seen as undermining conventional cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There is little sincere representation of traditional or dissenting perspectives; opposing views are present mostly as institutions or hurdles rather than as nuanced characters, though outright villainization is avoided.
