The Woman2011

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 Woman" leans into a harsh critique of toxic masculinity but tells its story through horror rather than ideological sermonizing. It doesn't aggressively push forced representation yet its view on cultural foundations will irk those tired of Hollywood's negative portrayals of traditional family roles.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "The Woman" offers a brutal critique of misogyny, the narrative is primarily focused on telling a shocking horror story rather than serving as a delivery vehicle for identity politics. Characters are written with complexity and the movie rarely shoehorns in diversity for its own sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film heavily vilifies traditional patriarchal family structures and masculinity, painting them as abusive and monstrous. This could be seen as undermining traditional family dynamics, though it does so in the context of extreme horror rather than lecturing viewers.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Dissenting views or complexities around gender and morality are somewhat limited. Most traditional or masculine characters are depicted negatively, though this is consistent with the film's genre-driven critique rather than overt ideological messaging.
