Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Metallica: Through the Never focuses almost entirely on the music and concert experience, with a loose narrative that isn't driven by identity politics. Characters are present for atmosphere and story, not to push any overt ideological themes. If anything, it’s more concerned with spectacle than virtue signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film sticks to Metallica's roots, rock, rebellion, and chaos, without subverting or mocking cultural traditions, masculinity, or religion. It keeps its hands off modern social messages and doesn't even dip a toe into gender or family politics. Basically, it’s just about the music.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no evident ideological agenda, and definitely no monoculture pushing modern talking points. The film is so focused on delivering a rock concert experience that there’s simply no room to villainize or even address traditional values, let alone mock them.
