Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on personal growth, identity, and the complications of family relationships, rather than emphasizing ideology over narrative. Characters are crafted around their personalities and struggles, not just identity checkboxes. Forced representation or hyper-competence based on modern ideological trends is not a primary feature here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes of family, self-discovery, and authentic connection are central. There's no strong agenda to undermine religion, masculinity, or family values; if anything, the film reveres the messy process of personal and familial reconciliation.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No overt caricaturing of traditional perspectives is present. The movie's world is pluralistic, and dissenting viewpoints receive thoughtful exploration. It avoids mocking non-woke views and showcases a range of personalities and lifestyles without heavy-handed moralizing.
