What We Think

The Cell is refreshingly focused on storytelling and visual flair rather than modern ideological trends. For viewers wary of overt wokeness, this stands as a pretty non-woke affair.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Cell focuses on a psychological thriller narrative, with little emphasis on identity politics. The casting and characterization seem primarily driven by the story's needs, and diversity is present but not forced. Narrative choices serve the plot rather than any overt ideological agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film doesn’t especially champion traditional values, it also doesn’t attempt to undermine religion, family, or masculinity. The focus is on psychological horror and procedural elements, sidestepping most hot-button cultural issues.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no strong ideological bent; characters are motivated by the crime scenario, not ideological worldviews. Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked, and the setting is ideologically neutral.
