What We Think

‘Somewhere in Time’ is about as non-woke as it gets. It tells a sincere, old-fashioned love story, untouched by modern ideological trends. It’s refreshingly devoid of agenda and well worth revisiting if you’re exhausted by today’s trend of shoehorned messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a classic romance and invests in strong character development rooted in personality and longing, not identity boxes. Its storytelling is straightforward, with no obvious signs of forced representation or ideological box-ticking that’s so common today.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like love, longing, and destiny are at the story’s core. There’s no undermining of family, tradition, or masculinity, instead, these themes are romanticized, and gender roles are consistent with the historical and narrative context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked or villainized; the film is ideologically neutral, simply focusing on timeless romance. There’s no agenda, no caricatured `traditionalist villains,` and plenty of room for a spectrum of interpretations.
