The Space Between Us2017

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

A refreshingly non-woke sci-fi teen romance, The Space Between Us keeps its focus on human (and Martian) drama without ticking diversity checkboxes or revisionist messaging. Nothing here to ruffle feathers for viewers tired of modern Hollywood trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Space Between Us largely focuses on its central love story and coming-of-age themes, rather than shoehorning identity politics or forced representation. Characters are developed by their strengths, flaws, and personalities instead of their demographics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no significant subversion of family, religion, or traditional morality. The story includes a strong focus on familial longing and finding connection across boundaries, with no real mockery of heritage or tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t seem especially interested in pushing a single worldview or mocking dissenting beliefs. Alternative perspectives aren’t demonized, and no particular ideology dominates the narrative.
