What We Think

Romantics Anonymous is almost entirely non-woke, sticking to timeless romantic comedy tropes, authentic characters, and relatable emotional journeys. Narrative integrity is preserved, and there’s no attempt to shoehorn in ideology or diminish cultural traditions. A rare treat these days.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This charming French rom-com focuses on quirky personalities, not on identity politics. The characters’ relationships and struggles revolve around their emotional lives and social awkwardness, not artificially imposed ideological narratives. It’s refreshingly character-driven, with virtually no hint of forced diversity or boxes ticked for the sake of modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats traditional themes like love, romance, and vulnerability with genuine warmth. It holds a positive lens on masculine and feminine traits, celebrates romance, and doesn’t undermine classic values or family. Traditional gender dynamics are playfully explored rather than subverted or pathologized.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no heavy-handed messaging or villainization of traditional views. The film is light on social critique and doesn't present alternative perspectives as caricatures. The focus remains where it belongs: on endearing oddballs trying to connect, not on waging culture wars.
