The D Train2015

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 D Train remains largely non-woke, focusing on character-driven comedy over any ideological message. It’s more interested in cringe humor than checking boxes, so it won’t set off the woke-alarm for most viewers.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The D Train keeps narrative front and center, with character flaws and plot emerging from personal insecurity rather than identity politics. Diverse identity themes barely register, as the movie is mostly invested in awkward nostalgia and the follies of its main character.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity gets some ribbing, and there’s a comedic twist on sexuality, but the film doesn’t present family or tradition as inherently backward or dangerous. Most cultural elements are used for humor rather than ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, even if awkwardly handled. The film doesn’t hammer home a single modern worldview, and, if anything, just pokes fun at various cultural assumptions scattered across the board.
