Not Woke

This film is more interested in legal ethics and twists of fate than making moral judgments about religion, family, or masculinity. It depicts traditional roles as they fit the source material, without undercutting or mocking foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film focuses on the perspectives of its main leads, it does not mock or villainize alternative worldviews, everyone is flawed, which actually adds nuance rather than pushing any monotone agenda.
