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

Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor is about as non-woke as it gets in modern cinema, doubling down on traditional morality and consequences rather than lecturing on modern ideological themes. If you’re tired of the usual “woke” Hollywood treatment, this one’s a throwback.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely focuses on character-driven drama without sacrificing narrative for identity politics. Character arcs feel motivated by personal flaws and consequences, rather than shoehorned ideological statements or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like marriage, faith, and morality are central, and the film’s message comes across as a cautionary tale about infidelity and its consequences. There’s little subversion of family or traditional gender roles; if anything, the story sides with them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not villainize traditional morals or lifestyles. If anything, alternative worldviews are challenged rather than celebrated, so there’s certainly no woke monoculture dominating the narrative.
