Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Retreat (2011) focuses on suspense, interpersonal drama, and psychological tension rather than pushing identity politics. Characters are cast believably for the setting and are developed through their actions and choices, not reduced to identity checkboxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely avoids lecturing or undermining traditional values. Marriage and personal responsibility are important to the storyline, with no noticeable attempt to mock masculinity, family, or faith. The film sticks close to classic thriller tropes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological shoehorning or villainization of dissenting worldviews. Characters behave out of personal motivations rather than to signal moral virtue, and there’s no clear push toward modern ideological conformity.
