Nine Lives2016

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

Nine Lives is refreshingly non-woke, more concerned with slapstick and sentiment than with checking Hollywood’s usual boxes. If you’re tired of ideological lectures, you’ll find this furball flick remarkably traditional and devoid of woke messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Nine Lives sticks to a classic slapstick premise, workaholic dad turned into a cat, with little focus on modern identity politics. Characters are cast and developed based on story needs rather than political trends. Any commentary on modern life is played for laughs, not seriousness.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film actually reinforces family and redemption motifs: the main character must learn to prioritize family over work. Masculine and parental roles are presented in traditional light and not subverted. There’s no overt cultural revisionism or undermining of traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no real ideological preaching here, just a goofy, family-friendly story. Multiple perspectives are present: flawed dad, caring mother, precocious daughter. No one worldview steamrolls all others. Satire is aimed at corporate culture, not social fabric.
