Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Morning After" centers on a suspense-filled, character-driven murder mystery without any forced emphasis on race, gender, or sexual identity. All roles are filled according to narrative and dramatic needs, not diversity checkboxes. No evidence of prioritizing ideology over storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film offers a realistic portrayal of adult struggles and personal responsibility, without overtly bashing traditional values, masculinity, or religion. Themes focus on addiction, regret, and redemption, not smashing cultural norms or rewriting history.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No particular modern ideological narrative dominates. Characters are flawed and diverse in their worldviews, some cynical, some hopeful, portrayed with complexity rather than as stand-ins for any one perspective. Dissent and complexity are not shunned.
