Miss Violence2013

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

Miss Violence is more disturbing than woke. It’s a harsh look at family abuse and dysfunction, with no preachy identity politics or forced messaging. While it does critique traditional structures, it does so in a brutally personal, and not overtly ideological, way.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's bleak narrative appears focused on disturbing family dynamics rather than shoehorning in modern identity politics or forced representation. Characters are flawed and the story remains grounded in realism, prioritizing individual psychology over ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Miss Violence does critique traditional family structure, depicting it as deeply dysfunctional and harmful. However, rather than serving as a woke critique, it seems more aimed at highlighting abuse and control, not simply subverting gender roles or moral values for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints and characters with flawed moralities are present, and there’s no clear ideological messaging or monoculture. The film explores dark themes without offering soapbox moments on modern social issues. Some may see the harsh critique of patriarchy as vaguely ideological, but it’s not overtly woke.
