What We Think

Secret Obsession sticks to standard thriller fare, avoiding ideological grandstanding and focusing more on suspense and drama than social commentary. It’s about as non-woke as a recent Netflix thriller can get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't appear to prioritize identity politics or forced representation over its stalker-thriller narrative. Characters are developed mainly through the thriller plot, focusing on suspense rather than checking diversity boxes. Any diversity present serves the story rather than distracting from it.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are largely maintained, and family dynamics are shown without mockery or ideological subversion. The film's themes revolve around classic thriller tropes rather than critiquing culture or tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no evident villainization of dissenting or traditional perspectives. The film does not use its story to push social or political messages, and worldview diversity is not a main focus or casualty here.
