Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s story is character-driven and centered on personal relationships rather than ticking boxes for representation. Characters are flawed, complex, and their identities don’t overshadow their arcs. There’s little evidence of narrative being sacrificed for ideology here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional ideas about romance, friendship, family, and even career anxiety are depicted with nuance. Gender roles are examined in period context but not ridiculed, and there’s no sense of retrofitting history to suit present-day ideologies. It mostly reflects the norms of its era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film showcases a spectrum of personalities and value systems, and doesn’t mock or villainize dissenting views. There’s debate, contradiction, and sincere exploration of youth culture rather than one-note messaging.
