Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film keeps its focus on character dynamics and the messy realities of love and friendship, rather than shoehorning in identity politics or virtue signaling. Characters are written with flaws and personal motivations, not as representatives of arbitrary demographics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like marriage, friendship, and commitment remain central, with no heavy-handed attempts to undermine family values, faith, or traditional masculinity. It’s more about human failings than rewriting culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t aggressively promote a single ideological perspective. Characters represent a range of viewpoints and flaws, and there’s no noticeable villainization of more traditional attitudes.
