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 Storm" is refreshingly non-woke. It sticks to classic storytelling, hard-edged realism, and genuine character stakes, without shoehorning in modern identity politics or moral lectures. Hollywood, take notes, this is how compelling, honest drama is done.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a group of working-class fishermen and their struggle against nature. Characters are depicted based on their personalities, flaws, and skills, identity politics are virtually nonexistent. Casting and character arcs focus on believability rather than box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, teamwork, perseverance, masculinity, and sacrifice, are given full respect. Male characters are at the center, and there’s no effort to subvert or mock traditional gender roles or family structures. No signs of cultural revisionism here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film lacks messaging about modern ideological themes. There's no villainization of traditional perspectives, nor is there an obvious effort to mock or uniformly promote a specific worldview. The story is focused on universal, timeless struggles.
