What We Think

The Ice Harvest is a non-woke dark comedy that puts story over ideology. It doesn't get lost in modern identity politics or use forced diversity. Traditional values aren't undermined for effect, and there's no ideological preaching.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Ice Harvest doesn't appear to force identity-driven narratives or cast based on ideological box-checking. The characters are written for plot and tone, not political statements or 'representation' goals. The focus remains on crime and dark comedy, not distracting social messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film portrays moral ambiguity and dysfunctional families, it doesn't mock traditional roles, religion, or masculinity for woke points. Its cynicism is genre-driven, not ideological. Some viewers might take issue with the amoral environment, but it doesn't seem purposefully revisionist or subversive.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no evidence that dissenting or traditional worldviews are being mocked or villainized. The film is about shady people making bad decisions, not about worldviews, so it sidesteps ideological monoculture almost entirely.
