This is a non-woke horror film. The Eyes of My Mother might unsettle you, but it certainly doesn't do so with any ideological agenda, it's stylish horror, not a lecture.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Eyes of My Mother is a minimalist horror film focused on psychological trauma, not social ideology. Character backgrounds and motivations serve the narrative and horror elements. There's no evidence of forced representation or tokenism, characters' identity traits take a backseat to mood and cinema craft.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not overtly subvert traditional values or mock culture; its story revolves around a disturbed individual in a rural setting. While it explores isolation and darkness, it avoids preachy messages about religion, family, or gender roles, sticking to its nightmarish vision.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are not pushed aside or mocked; ideology simply isn’t the focus here. The film is all about atmosphere and psychological unease, not lecturing the audience or taking a stand on modern identity politics.
