What We Think

An unvarnished, non-woke look at a famous band's real-life troubles. Metallica: Some Kind of Monster is refreshingly grounded, focusing on human flaws, not ideology. Welcome to actual reality, not Hollywood fantasy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This documentary focuses on the inner struggles and creative process of Metallica as a band. The narrative is driven by real events and raw personalities, not by checking diversity boxes or pushing ideological themes. It's an honest dive into human imperfection, not identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film depicts masculinity, brotherhood, and the struggle to maintain a creative unit. It doesn't mock traditional values, if anything, it lays bare the difficulties of maintaining a band, family, and legacy. There’s little sign of modern reengineering of traditional values here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren't villainized; the film is about internal band conflict, not social ideology. There’s no groupthink; the clash of personalities is the entire point. No woke echo chamber here.
