What We Think

For anyone wary of excessive 'woke' content, "Talk to Me" is refreshingly non-woke. It tells its story without resorting to ideological soapboxing or forced representation, just good old-fashioned horror with some emotional depth.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Talk to Me" generally prioritizes its horror narrative and doesn't seem to shoehorn in current-year ideologies at the expense of story or character growth. Characters are depicted with relatable flaws and their traits serve the plot rather than serving as ideological check-boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't actively undermine family, religion, or traditional morality. In fact, it explores themes of grief, consequences, and psychological struggle without attacking foundational cultural values. Masculinity and femininity are both present without one being mocked or elevated above the other.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no overt ideological preaching or caricature villainization of dissenting views. The film largely stays focused on supernatural horror, without using its runtime as a delivery vehicle for political messaging or one-sided worldview reinforcement.
