What We Think

“The Witches of Eastwick” keeps its broomstick mostly clear of heavy-handed wokeness. While it playfully subverts norms and puts women front and center, it doesn’t push modern ideological messages or sacrifice storytelling for politics. Mostly non-woke fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely focuses on quirky characters and old-school storytelling rather than checking boxes for modern identity politics. The main trio are women, but their personalities, flaws, and strengths drive the plot. There's little evidence of forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There are some playful jabs at small-town morality, masculinity, and religion, but it’s all woven into the dark comedy and supernatural mishaps. While there’s mild subversion of gender roles, it feels rooted in the story rather than modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values are occasionally poked fun at, but the film hardly feels like an echo chamber. Characters represent a variety of viewpoints, and there's no real sense of groupthink or uniformity here.
