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

Split is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. It sticks to telling a suspenseful story, focusing on characters' personal journeys rather than indulging in heavy-handed social commentary or forced representation. A rare Hollywood thriller that puts story first.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Split prioritizes storytelling and suspense over ideology. The film focuses on psychological thrills rather than pushing identity politics. Characters are developed more through their actions and traumas, not defined by race, gender, or sexuality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional concepts like family trauma, resilience, and morality are explored honestly. Masculinity and femininity aren’t inverted or pathologized, and there’s no attempt to rewrite history or undermine cultural touchstones. The focus remains on the horror and psychological elements.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little, if any, focus on ideological messaging. No obvious villainization of traditional beliefs or absence of alternative viewpoints. The film’s central conflict is psychological, not political or social.
