What We Think

Midnight in the Switchgrass is refreshingly non-woke. It’s content to be a conventional crime thriller, steering clear of forced representation, excessive virtue signaling, or ideological preaching.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on gritty crime and procedural storytelling without shoehorning in identity politics. Characters seem driven by plot needs rather than ideological signaling, and casting decisions appear rooted in story requirements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little in the way of subverting traditional gender roles or undermining religious and family values. Masculinity and morality are treated within the bounds of the detective/crime genre, not used as ideological punching bags.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not push one worldview. If anything, it's a standard crime thriller where complex motives and personalities are on display, rather than cardboard cutout 'bad traditionalist' strawmen.
