What We Think

"Pleasure" is, in our opinion, a highly woke film, putting ideological themes at the center of its storytelling and portraying tradition with skepticism or outright criticism. Ideological diversity and nuanced debate take a back seat to the film's clear messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film places heavy emphasis on themes of female empowerment, sexual agency, and power dynamics at the expense of a nuanced, character-driven narrative. Many character traits, especially identity and gender, seem foregrounded over personal growth, and the storyline often seems crafted around social commentary rather than individual arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

"Pleasure" openly critiques traditional views on gender, sexuality, and the adult industry. It often frames family, masculinity, and morality as either problematic or outdated, and rarely allows space for traditional or non-ideological interpretations of these themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film leans into a single modern worldview, particularly around gender and power. Traditional views are generally absent or depicted in a negative light, with little room for meaningful debate or alternative perspectives. Dissent tends to be caricatured or dismissed outright.
