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

Mindhorn is about as non-woke as it gets from modern British comedy. Its satire targets washed-up actors and the quirks of the 80s TV world, not contemporary social issues. A refreshing break from Hollywood's usual trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mindhorn focuses on comedic storytelling and character flaws rather than identity politics. The characters are chosen for humor and plot, not their gender, race, or ideology. There is no sign of identity-driven casting or forced representation; the film is more interested in poking fun at washed-up celebrities than preaching social messages.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie doesn't have an overt agenda against tradition, religion, or masculinity. It lampoons the entertainment industry and bygone TV heroes, not core cultural pillars. Any subversion is simply for comedic effect, not ideological sneering.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Mindhorn doesn't push a singular modern worldview. Traditional and alternative perspectives alike are lampooned or ignored; it's more absurd parody than ideological screed. There aren't any cartoonish villains meant to represent dissent; the gags are about ego and delusion, not politics.
