Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

Traditional themes like family, relationships, and marriage are central to the story. The film does not undermine religion, masculinity, or morality, nor does it rewrite cultural traditions or history to fit modern ideological frameworks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a conventional romantic comedy and doesn't push modern ideological messages. It also avoids villainizing traditional perspectives, preferring personal drama over political statements.
