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

Rolling Thunder Revue is mostly a playful, nostalgic look at an iconic music tour, with little to offend those tired of Hollywood’s woke tendencies. It keeps its focus on performance, not politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

As a mockumentary-style music documentary about Bob Dylan’s 1970s Rolling Thunder tour, the film largely emphasizes storytelling and performance rather than modern identity politics. Casting and focus remain true to the real-life subjects, so there's minimal evidence of forced representation or ideology overriding narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is more a celebration of American music culture than a critique of traditional values. While it does reflect some bohemian attitudes of Dylan's era, it doesn't take aim at religion, family, or masculinity in the modern sense.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little overt signaling or villainizing of traditional beliefs. The focus stays on the music and era, occasionally reflecting countercultural attitudes but nothing in line with today’s ideological monoculture.
