What We Think

This film is about as non-woke as it gets by today’s standards. ‘Nothing in Common’ is rooted in classic storytelling, family, and real character relationships. You’ll find depth, honesty, and maybe a little bit of Hollywood heart, but thankfully, not a whiff of modern ideology overload.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Identity politics are virtually absent in 'Nothing in Common.' The film focuses on character depth, personal growth, and authentic family dynamics, steering clear of casting-for-demographics, box-ticking, or message-first storytelling. It’s very much about people, not checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes of family, duty, and forgiveness are front and center here. Masculinity, father-son relationships, and traditional values are handled with genuine respect. If anything, the movie feels nostalgic for an era when these things still mattered in Hollywood.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no sign of forced ideological consensus. Different worldviews, especially across generations, are given sincere attention and space to breathe. Debate isn’t stifled or caricatured; it’s the heart of the film’s conflict.
