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

A refreshingly non-woke, character-driven drama that predates Hollywood’s current trend of prioritizing identity politics. "The Dreamlife of Angels" remains focused on human stories and struggles without pushing a modern ideological agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on the authentic struggles and friendship between two young women in northern France. Their personalities, choices, and circumstances drive the story, not identity checkboxes. The casting and characterization feel organic, not dictated by modern representational quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While some traditional themes like family appear, the film neither aggressively mocks nor champions them. Masculinity is depicted in a neutral or balanced light, and there’s little subversion of norms merely for shock value or to push an ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film displays a variety of perspectives rooted in personal struggle rather than ideology. Traditional worldviews aren’t caricatured, and there’s room for complexity and debate in character motivations and social context. Little evidence of monocultural messaging.
