What We Think

'The Great Hack' checks most boxes for a highly woke documentary: narrative bias, undermining of classic values, and an echo chamber approach to its ideological framework. If you’re looking for a nuanced, non-woke take, you’ll have to keep searching.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The documentary leans heavily on framing digital manipulation as a tool used primarily by certain political groups. It feels at times like the story is secondary to reinforcing a particular ideological perspective, rather than providing a balanced investigation into data misuse overall.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s an undercurrent of skepticism toward traditional values like personal responsibility and the importance of free debate. The film implies that ordinary people are too easily manipulated, and institutions familiar to Western culture are painted as either complicit or outdated.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints about digital privacy, free speech, and political discourse are largely absent or portrayed negatively. The film spotlights one set of villains and victims, without meaningful exploration of broader societal responsibility or dissenting interpretations.
