What We Think

‘On the Count of Three’ bucks the trend of recent overtly woke Hollywood films. It’s mostly about flawed individuals making flawed choices, a refreshing change from sanctimonious identity sermons. If you’re tired of the usual, this film feels surprisingly grounded and non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

This film prioritizes authentic character development over ticking diversity boxes. The main characters are established with complex personalities, and their struggles feel rooted in realism rather than agenda. There’s no sense that casting or traits are forced for any ideological reason.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Themes tackle personal crisis, family trauma, and masculinity without blatant subversion. While the film questions some traditional values, it does so thoughtfully and with nuance, never outright ridiculing or maliciously undermining cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are treated with respect. Both lead characters grapple with their beliefs instead of being mouthpieces for a single modern ideology. There’s room for moral complexity and human struggle, with no obvious villainization of traditional perspectives.
