The Laundromat2019

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 Laundromat doesn’t just air out dirty laundry, it proudly waves the woke flag. With narrative and character sacrificed for messaging, and a hefty dose of ideological uniformity, it’s a prime example of modern Hollywood’s obsession with “correct” perspectives over compelling storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The Laundromat weaves in identity-focused casting and dialogue, at times prioritizing message over character depth. Social commentary occasionally overshadows narrative flow. It feels at points as if characters exist primarily to check representation boxes or voice ideological points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film treats traditional institutions, especially business and, by extension, family structure, as inherently corrupt or naïve. Masculine archetypes are diminished or caricatured, and there’s a clear slant toward challenging established norms rather than respecting them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are portrayed only through caricature or as blatantly unscrupulous. The film’s perspective leaves little room for debate or genuine pluralism, it’s pretty clear which side you’re meant to root for, with dissenters painted unsympathetically.
