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 Party’ can be seen as a low-key, artsy foray into woke territory, cleverly written but still indulging in the usual jabs at tradition and a parade of modern social assumptions, wrapped up in dark comedy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film features a cast and character dynamics that seem to prioritize ideological and identity-driven conflict over organic narrative development. While not egregiously forced, the characters' backstories and conflicts at times feel tailored to tick certain ‘modern’ boxes rather than evolving naturally.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

‘The Party’ subtly mocks traditional values like marriage, family, and even faith, using irony and dysfunction as comedic fodder. Masculinity, especially, comes under fire, with male characters often rendered bumbling or weak compared to their more resolute female counterparts.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a noticeable lack of sincere representation for traditional viewpoints; most disagreement is used for humor or set-up rather than for genuine debate. The film’s worldview is fairly uniform, leaning towards a modern, ‘progressive’ consensus with little internal challenge.
