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

The Car is blissfully free of any modern woke sensibilities, just old-fashioned horror with no identity politics or social engineering. A non-woke classic.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Car is your classic late-70s horror ride, focused purely on suspense and thrills with little to no ideological interference. Characters are straightforward archetypes based on function and personality, not identity quotas or forced diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no undermining of traditional values or institutions. The small-town setting respects community and family structures, and there’s no revisionist tinkering with history or mockery of masculinity or religion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t push any particular ideology and gives no sense of modern identity politics. It’s basically just a story about an evil car terrorizing a town, not an ideological statement.
