What We Think

Missing Link is a refreshingly non-woke adventure that puts story and humor first. Modern themes are handled with subtlety, and there’s little of the typical Hollywood box-ticking. If you’re looking for entertainment rather than a lecture, this film delivers.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Missing Link focuses on adventure and wit rather than force-feeding modern ideology. Characters are depicted with clear strengths and flaws, and no one is invincible or perfect. Representation feels natural within the story’s context, never overshadowing the narrative or character growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film pokes gentle fun at certain social conventions but doesn't actively undermine religion, family, or masculinity. Most of the humor comes from personality clashes rather than making broader cultural statements, keeping it comfortably non-woke in tone.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While modern sensibilities are present, the film doesn’t aggressively mock alternative viewpoints. There’s a spirit of camaraderie and respect among characters, and diversity of perspective is allowed, making this far from an ideological echo chamber.
