What We Think

"Miracle Mile" is essentially a non-woke thriller. It’s about people coping with disaster, not pushing anyone’s modern agenda. The woke-o-meter barely budges here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Miracle Mile" focuses squarely on suspense and human reaction during an apocalyptic night, not on modern identity politics. The characters are fleshed out for their roles in the narrative, and there's little sense of forced representation or character attributes being prioritized over the needs of the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film portrays themes like love, family, and panic without any obvious subversion of traditional values. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed again in a fairly classic way, especially for its era, with no overt moralizing or cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't villainized; the story is about universal human reactions to crisis. Various characters show different responses, and the movie isn't interested in mocking or pushing any specific ideology. Ideological diversity is present simply through character variety.
