What We Think

Strange Wilderness isn't a woke film by any stretch. It's more concerned with juvenile humor than social justice or ideology. In today’s Hollywood, it's almost shocking how little this film cares about modern political narratives.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Strange Wilderness is a raunchy comedy that doesn't appear to inject any social commentary or identity politics into its plot. Characters are unapologetically crude, and the cast is not crafted for diversity's sake, but for slapstick humor. Narrative choices focus more on absurdity than message.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity, family, and morality are played for laughs, if referenced at all. The film may poke fun at just about everyone and everything, but it doesn't seem driven by any desire to subvert cultural foundations for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no discernible ideological monoculture. If anything, the film is a throwback to the kind of irresponsible, anything-goes comedy that Hollywood now regards with embarrassment. No viewpoints are especially villainized; everyone gets roasted equally.
