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

Pitch Perfect 3 is unmistakably modern movie fare, prioritizing identity and empowerment over traditional storytelling or values. It’s not the wokest of the woke, but it never misses a chance to lean into current trends at the expense of legacy norms.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Pitch Perfect 3 leans into the ensemble girl-power vibe, emphasizing representation and quirky identities over nuanced character arcs or deep growth. Identity occasionally overshadows actual narrative drive, though not as egregiously as some recent films. Some moments feel tailored to tick diversity boxes rather than serve the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film largely sidesteps traditional family, religion, or masculine traits, focusing instead on female camaraderie and undercutting any need for tradition. Men, where present, are mainly sidekicks, comic relief, or obstacles. Old-fashioned values are largely irrelevant here, swapping them for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While there’s a sprinkle of differing personalities, traditional views don’t get much of a fair showing. Most characters align with the film’s modern worldview, with dissenters played for laughs or dismissed outright. There’s a clear slant, but not quite a total monoculture.
