What We Think

A blissfully non-woke thriller. ‘The Invisible Guest’ is about plot and suspense, not politics or forced messaging. If you’re allergic to trendy ideological insertions, this one’s safe viewing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses entirely on plot, suspense, and character flaws rather than pushing ideological agendas. Casting and character development are grounded in the story’s logic with no obvious forced diversity. It’s traditional, with characters chosen for their fit within the thriller narrative, not identity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no noticeable subversion of traditional values, gender roles, or cultural history. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed with nuance, and there’s no lecturing about religion, family, or social values, just good old-fashioned noir plotting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t particularly highlighted, but that’s because the film is too busy ratcheting up tension to deliver any modern moral sermons. There’s no cartoonish villainy of traditional perspectives, just relatable flawed people.
