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

While 'Sirens' challenges traditional norms, it does so with a light and playful touch rather than a modern ideological agenda. It's more a cheeky jab at prudishness than a parade of forced progressivism. A product of its time, its 'wokeness' is mild by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on sexual liberation and challenges traditional sensibilities, but character development and motivations generally arise from within the setting. Identity factors are not forced and most casting choices reflect the period and story context rather than modern ideology pushes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

'Sirens' actively subverts religious and traditional moral values, presenting them as repressive and outdated. Masculinity is presented with nuance, but the film is clear in its irreverent and at times mocking tone toward conventional morality, especially Christianity and sexual restraint.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The film isn't overtly preachy, but it certainly leans toward one worldview: sexual freedom as enlightenment, Victorian morality as stifling. Alternative traditional views are mostly represented as naive or in need of 'awakening,' but they're not entirely villainized or caricatured.
