What We Think

Master Gardener is deeply invested in modern ideological themes, making narrative and character take a backseat. Tradition and dissent are mostly sidelined, and audience members seeking non-woke storytelling will likely raise an eyebrow, or two, at the film’s clear priorities.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Master Gardener pivots its plot around themes of racial guilt, identity, and redemption. In our view, sometimes character complexity is secondary to making social points. Diverse casting is prominent, and several scenes foreground identity over personal merit or organic story growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film critiques traditional American and masculine archetypes, with its central character seeking redemption for past sins. Old cultural values and institutions (like tradition and authority) are cast in a negative light, favoring social progress and reinvention.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative, less-progressive viewpoints are mostly shown as villainous or backward. The film tends to push a singular worldview on identity and redemption, with minimal debate or representation of dissenting opinions within the narrative.
