What We Think

In our view, “Sister” is refreshingly non-woke. It sidesteps most modern Hollywood trends and opts instead for grounded storytelling and authentic characters. Definitely safe from heavy-handed agenda pushing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film “Sister” focuses on the gritty realities of poverty, family, and survival, prioritizing nuanced character development over overt identity politics. Characters are not defined by modern ideological labels, and representation feels authentic to the story’s Swiss setting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

“Sister” examines family dysfunction without turning it into a critique of traditional values. There’s no obvious undermining of masculinity, faith, or cultural traditions; instead, it offers a realistic, even-handed portrayal of troubled relationships.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not push a singular worldview or vilify alternative perspectives. Its concerns are universal, childhood, desperation, sibling bonds, rather than centered on propagating a particular ideology or mocking tradition.
