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

‘Misbehaviour’ wears its progressive agenda on its sleeve, prioritizing feminist politics over balanced storytelling. Traditional values are sidelined, dissenters are stereotyped, and nuance takes a back seat, making this a prime example of high ‘woke’ cinema.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film prioritizes 1970s feminist activism and social messaging over nuanced character development, placing heavy emphasis on identity themes. Many characters are defined primarily by their gender, overshadowing individual growth or merit-based storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like femininity and beauty pageants are portrayed as inherently oppressive, with the Miss World contest depicted mostly as an outdated institution. Masculinity, traditional roles, and family structures are often undermined or left unexplored in favor of modern progressive messages.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative views, those in support of the pageant or who oppose the activists, are largely caricatured, rarely shown as nuanced or legitimate. The film leans heavily into a single worldview, with little genuine debate about the complexities involved.
