What We Think

'Other People' leans heavily into identity-driven storytelling while offering a modern, progressive take on family and acceptance. For non-woke viewers, the film may feel like a prime example of Hollywood's growing ideological uniformity, prioritizing messaging over traditional character arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

What is this?

Family dynamics are portrayed from a modern, progressive lens, with themes of acceptance and conflict surrounding sexuality. Traditional norms and religious viewpoints are challenged and at times shown as sources of friction, which could be seen as undermining classic cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture
