What We Think

"Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" goes light on the ‘woke’ front, with a focus on fun, family, and ABBA tunes over contemporary culture wars. It mildly prioritizes modern independence, but rarely crosses into heavy-handed or preachy territory.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While this ABBA-fueled sequel features a diverse cast and some modern attitudes, the story remains centered on family, romance, and musical escapism. Character traits rarely feel forced in terms of identity; the plot sticks to lighthearted melodrama rather than ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film leans into a modern, independent vision of femininity but doesn't aggressively undermine family, tradition, or masculinity; instead, it celebrates non-traditional families in an upbeat way. Religion and heritage aren't central, but aren't particularly subverted or mocked either.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s clearly a preference for modern ideas of female empowerment and independence, with less attention paid to traditional alternatives, but this all feels more celebratory than villainizing. Dissenting views are more absent than cartoonishly mocked.
