What We Think

Classic, atmospheric, and entirely non-woke, 'The Curse of the Cat People' couldn't be further from today's ideological trendsetters. It’s a product of its era, focusing on character, folklore, and family, instead of checking modern ideological boxes.

Score Breakdown

Traditional family structure, innocence of childhood, and parental concern are central. Masculinity, femininity, and cultural norms are presented without subversion, and there's genuine respect for established values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No evidence of preachy messaging or modern ideological monoculture. The film explores themes like loneliness and imagination without taking jabs at traditional viewpoints or pushing a uniform, contemporary ideology.
