What We Think

Testament is about as non-woke as they come. It cares about telling a family story, not scoring points on today’s ideological scoreboard. If you want classic values and humanity at the center, this film’s got you covered.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a typical American family struggling to survive after a nuclear attack, prioritizing realism and emotional weight over ticking any modern identity checkboxes. Characters are written with depth instead of being defined by race, gender, or political agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and traditional values are portrayed with respect. The nuclear crisis scenario unites the town rather than undermining cultural foundations, and themes like parental responsibility and sacrifice are central rather than lampooned.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no perceptible ideological monoculture here. The community’s diverse reactions to catastrophe come from human nature rather than forced ideological battles. Traditional viewpoints are treated with sympathy, not as objects of ridicule.
