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

Next Goal Wins piles on the modern identity themes at the expense of nuanced storytelling, traditions, or worldview diversity. While entertaining for some, it's a classic case of Hollywood's current fixation on woke checklists.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film puts heavy emphasis on identity, especially through its focus on a transgender character, which feels shoehorned at times and overtakes the underdog sports storyline. Character traits often seem driven by diversity checkboxes rather than organic development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values and masculinity are largely sidelined or presented through a quirky lens, while identity-focused themes are front and center. Viewers may interpret this as prioritizing modern ideological messages over classic family or moral frameworks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Dissenting opinions are absent, and the film presents a uniform narrative supporting progressive ideas surrounding gender and identity. Alternative perspectives or internal debates barely register, if at all, creating a nearly one-note ideological environment.
