Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, such as family and community, are subtly addressed through the protagonist’s loneliness and longing, but the movie isn’t interested in undermining these aspects. There’s no overt attack on religion, masculinity, or other cultural touchstones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is apolitical, avoiding broad social or ideological debates. It focuses on the individual, with no clear agenda or uniformity of worldview, and no caricatured depiction of dissenters or ‘villains’ push any ideology.
