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

Soldier's Girl is a very early entry in the “woke” film canon, framing its narrative around identity, challenging tradition, and offering an overwhelmingly one-sided social message. Not subtle on the activism front.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film puts identity politics front and center, focusing heavily on gender and sexuality themes. Character arcs and narrative focus seem driven more by a desire to spotlight trans issues than by organic storytelling or character realism, at times sacrificing narrative depth for message-driven scenes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Soldier's Girl often challenges traditional notions of masculinity and military culture, portraying them as sources of toxicity and conflict. There is little attempt to validate traditional values, instead framing them as antagonistic to the trans protagonist's experience.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film presents alternative or dissenting perspectives (such as traditional viewpoints) mostly through unsympathetic characters, leaving little room for nuanced debate or pluralism. The moral center aligns tightly with current progressive ideas without much internal ideological conflict.
