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 Gods Must Be Crazy II is refreshingly non-woke, sticking to universal humor and cross-cultural misunderstandings instead of shoehorning in modern ideological messages. A rare old-school outlier by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film mostly focuses on its story and humor without shoving contemporary identity politics or forced representation into the mix. Characters are chosen and portrayed in a way that fits the world and era it's depicting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics, religion, and masculinity are presented straightforwardly. There’s no attempt to rewrite cultural values or undermine traditional roles. Instead, the humor leans on cross-cultural misunderstandings rather than poking at any cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence of ideological monoculture. The film isn't lecturing viewers on modern hot-button issues or villainizing alternative viewpoints. Differences are played for laughs, not political points.
