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 Perfect Secret' mostly steers clear of the usual woke trappings. It's a breezy ensemble film about secrets and relationships, rather than a vehicle for progressive messaging. Traditional dynamics are teased but not attacked, and there's a genuine plurality of perspectives. Not much to upset non-woke sensibilities here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The story of 'The Perfect Secret' focuses on personal relationships and secrets rather than modern identitarian narratives. Characters are chosen more for fit within the ensemble dynamic; identity politics barely surface, and the film doesn’t force representation or hyper-competency onto its cast.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film pokes fun at domestic life and relationships, it does not take significant aim at traditional values like family, religion, or masculinity. The satire targets universal flaws rather than cultural institutions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is a range of worldviews among the characters, from reserved to open-minded, and nobody is painted as a pure villain due to their beliefs. No real ideological lecturing or one-sided messaging here.
