What We Think

The Age of Adaline is refreshingly non-woke, anchoring itself in personal storytelling rather than ideology. Its respect for tradition and family makes it a rare find among modern Hollywood releases.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Age of Adaline tells a straightforward, character-focused story without shoehorning modern identity politics into its narrative. Adaline’s traits and struggles feel organic rather than built around any ideological messaging. There's no apparent forced representation or overemphasized identity politics here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film places strong emphasis on themes like family, love, and tradition. Masculinity isn't mocked, and the family structure is respected. There’s no attempt to undermine religion, gender roles, or traditional morality. Core cultural values remain intact and treated seriously throughout.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While it presents a modern love story, the film doesn’t engage in overt ideological preaching or use traditional perspectives as strawmen. Characters approach love and aging in a mostly timeless, apolitical fashion, with no heavy-handed mocking of differing worldviews.
