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

Seabiscuit is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on classic virtues, personal struggle, and perseverance without injecting forced representation or undermining traditional cultural values. A rare example of a film letting the story, and the horse, do the talking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Seabiscuit tells a classic underdog story with an emphasis on character growth, hardship, and redemption, rather than focusing on identity politics or shoehorned representation. Main characters are developed around their personalities and struggles, not just their demographics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats American history, family, perseverance, and masculinity respectfully. Themes of hard work, responsibility, and redemption are front and center, and there’s no attempt to undermine traditional values or revise the era’s culture with modern commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While it clearly celebrates the era's values, it does so without mocking or villainizing alternative perspectives. The focus remains firmly on the individual journeys, not on pushing any ideological uniformity.
