Sleeping with Other People2015

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

Sleeping with Other People largely avoids heavy-handed 'woke' elements. Its focus is on messy, relatable characters, and it doesn’t shoehorn identity politics or ideological lectures into the plot. While it mirrors contemporary moral ambiguity, it doesn't force a monocultural worldview.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses primarily on flawed, realistic adult characters navigating relationships and shortcomings. Diversity casting is not a central focus, and the leads are developed through their emotional arcs rather than identity politics. The story keeps its eyes on real-world problems rather than using characters as billboards for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film treats traditional relationships with irreverence, leaning into hookup culture and a casual attitude toward fidelity. However, it doesn't overtly attack family, masculinity, or religion; it merely reflects modern anxieties without beating the audience over the head with messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film's environment reflects urban liberal attitudes toward relationships and morality, there is some acknowledgment of differing personal views and struggles. It doesn't entirely erase alternative perspectives, though the film's ethos is definitely more 'modern' than traditional.
