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

On My Skin remains largely grounded, focusing more on justice and human tragedy than woke themes. It avoids shoehorning in identity politics, revisionist history, or anti-traditional messaging. A few progressive undertones exist, but nothing close to peak Hollywood-style wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film primarily sticks to realism and follows the tragic real-life story of Stefano Cucchi. Identity politics are not at the forefront; the focus remains on individual suffering and institutional failure, not ideological talking points. Forced representation and flawless diverse characters are notably absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the movie is highly critical of certain Italian authorities, it doesn't seriously undermine core cultural institutions like family, religion, or masculinity. It centers on justice and the dignity of individuals, rather than reimagining or attacking traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Although the film is critical of police misconduct, it avoids painting all traditional institutions or beliefs as villainous. Some may find its focus on systemic failure rather one-sided, but it doesn’t aggressively push a modern woke ideological framework throughout.
