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

"Reality" exemplifies modern Hollywood’s trend toward ideological storytelling: narrative takes a back seat to contemporary themes about identity and authority, with little room for debate or nuance. Expect a very woke viewing experience.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

"Reality" leans heavily into political messaging, with identity and ideology at the forefront. The casting and character portrayal arguably favor message over depth or traditional storytelling. The focus on whistleblower Reality Winner’s gender and political context can overshadow the nuanced development expected in character-driven dramas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film subtly critiques traditional institutions, using the simple interview setting to question authority and present its lead as a kind of moral rebel. This approach may undermine respect for national security, authority, or more traditional interpretations of duty.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Perspectives outside the film’s chosen ideological framing are absent or depicted unsympathetically. The focus is one-sided, championing a progressive worldview without sincerely engaging with alternative or dissenting perspectives.
