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

A refreshing rarity: the film explores identity in a way that puts character and humor ahead of ideological box-ticking. ‘Me, Myself and Mum’ keeps woke elements to a minimum and avoids heavy-handedness, making it an example of how to handle sensitive topics with wit and grace.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on personal identity and family relationships but does not appear to prioritize ideology over narrative. Characters are crafted with depth, and the focus remains on storytelling rather than checking boxes for representation. Any exploration of gender or sexuality serves the story without obvious agenda-pushing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

‘Me, Myself and Mum’ addresses non-traditional aspects of gender and family, but largely through humor and self-exploration, without openly attacking or undermining traditional values. The film’s treatment of masculinity and family is introspective rather than revisionist or dismissive.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s very little sense of enforced ideological unity; the perspective offered is personal, with room for nuance and even some gentle parody of both traditional and progressive views. Alternative worldviews aren’t aggressively mocked or villainized.
