Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Outsourced focuses on a classic fish-out-of-water story, centering on an American adapting to Indian culture. Identity factors are presented with nuance and humor, not forced ideology. The characters are well-rounded, and narrative choices feel organic, not dictated by modern identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film depicts both American and Indian values, including family, tradition, and work ethic, respectfully. While it pokes gentle fun at cultural differences, there's no sense that Western traditions or masculinity are being demonized or rewritten to suit a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are integral to the story, with misunderstandings and conflicts depicted sympathetically. There's no obvious villainization of traditional perspectives or ideological groupthink; instead, differences are explored through dialogue and humor.
