What We Think

Obvious Child wears its ideological heart on its sleeve, often sidelining traditional values and narrative depth in favor of thematic messaging. It comes across as a prime example of modern woke cinema, inviting little room for ideological diversity or nuanced discussion.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Obvious Child leans heavily into its ideological messaging, with plot and character arcs largely revolving around social issues rather than organic development. Identity themes are prioritized, and the central character's choices are portrayed almost without internal critique or meaningful challenge, which can feel one-note.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film tackles topics like abortion and traditional romantic relationships in a manner that often diminishes classical views on family and morality. Religion and traditional gender roles are mostly dismissed or used as punchlines, giving the impression that these values are outdated or trivial.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional viewpoints, especially regarding family and morality, are largely excluded or depicted in a negative light. Alternative perspectives are mostly caricatured, with little room for sincere debate or complexity among characters, making the worldview fairly one-sided.
