What We Think

The Anniversary Party offers a refreshingly non-woke narrative, prioritizing authentic character drama over ideological messaging. Its focus is on human frailty rather than social agendas, a relic of a less politicized Hollywood era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Anniversary Party focuses on interpersonal drama, emphasizing characters’ flaws, relationships, and choices over identity politics. It’s largely character-driven without clumsy inserts of forced diversity or agenda-driven moments typical of more recent films.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film depicts modern marital struggles and Hollywood lifestyles, it doesn’t aggressively undermine family, masculinity, or traditional morality. If anything, it wrestles honestly with the messiness of relationships without preachiness.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are not villainized, and characters are shown with nuance, even when their values or choices clash. The film avoids turning dissenting voices into caricatures, although its Hollywood setting may lean mildly left-of-center by default.
