What We Think

Parallel Mothers offers a beautifully shot but overwhelmingly woke ride, laden with identity themes and revisionist storytelling that leave little room for alternative viewpoints or traditional values. Hollywood, take notes, this is peak modern cinema wokery.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film foregrounds themes of motherhood through a strong feminist lens, prioritizing identity and modern social issues over organic character-driven storytelling. The narrative makes deliberate choices to emphasize sexuality and historical trauma, often at the expense of deeper exploration of personal growth or interpersonal conflict.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Parallel Mothers questions traditional family structures, explores single motherhood, and openly addresses Spain's historical legacy with a revisionist slant. Masculinity and conventional religious values are largely minimized or sidelined, with the focus placed on female solidarity and progressive ideals.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional or dissenting perspectives are scarcely present except in minor or unsympathetic forms. The film leans heavily into a modern ideological worldview, projecting its values as unchallenged and rarely exploring any real internal debate.
