Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s narrative focuses on quirky comedic sci-fi with no discernible forced representation or emphasis on identity over character. Personality, humor, and story take priority, with no sign of modern ideological meddling. It’s more about aliens, friendship, and eccentricity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional French pastoral life, old friendships, and humor are at the film’s core. The film doesn’t undermine family, masculinity, or cultural history; it leans into them for laughs and commentary. No modern social critiques here, just classic French absurdity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no overt ideological message or monoculture, no sign of demonizing differing viewpoints. Instead, the humor is broad and charmingly old-school, without lecturing the audience or tiptoeing around current ‘approved’ politics.
