What We Think

Despite poking fun at religion, 'The Milky Way' is almost vintage in its lack of modern 'woke' concerns, it’s a product of its time focused on theological debate, not today’s identity politics or ideological agendas.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Milky Way' is a surreal, satirical journey through theological debate rather than a showcase for identity politics or forced demographic representation. Characters are symbols for religious ideas, not vehicles for modern ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film playfully critiques Catholicism and Christian doctrine, but does so as a theological exploration rather than an outright attack on religion, masculinity, or tradition. It questions dogma, but doesn't simply sneer at faith or family.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There's diversity in the range of theological perspectives depicted, with heretics, clerics, and skeptics all getting a voice. This isn't an echo chamber of modern orthodoxy, but a theater of intellectual pluralism, even if much of it is irreverent.
