What We Think

Lucy in the Sky doesn't fall prey to the usual heavy-handed 'woke' pitfalls. Its focus is on personal breakdown rather than on a checklist of ideological themes, keeping most of the modern Hollywood buzzwords at bay.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Lucy in the Sky focuses on a female astronaut's personal unraveling after a space mission, but its storytelling remains primarily driven by character and emotional struggle rather than overt ideological messaging. Diverse casting is present, but not distractingly so, and identity over skill isn't a central focus.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a strong female lead dealing with existential and relational crises, but doesn't aggressively subvert traditional family, religion, or moral frameworks. Masculinity isn't overtly mocked, and the narrative doesn't rewrite history for the sake of ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Lucy in the Sky has a modern sensibility, it doesn't overtly villainize alternative perspectives or force ideological conformity. Characters display nuance, and traditional views aren't simply caricatured for ridicule.
