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 Worst Person in the World’ leans toward modern sensibilities but isn’t aggressively woke. It subverts some cultural norms without turning the film into an ideological pamphlet and at least allows its characters to be messy and human rather than flawless symbols.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film is first and foremost a character study, focusing on the messy, realistic journey of its main character, Julie. Identity is present but doesn’t overshadow personal growth, flaws, or relationship dynamics. The story feels organic rather than engineered for box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity, relationships, and family are certainly questioned and at times undermined, as the film explores themes of self-realization and defiance of expectations. While cultural institutions are not outright vilified, there’s a definite subversive edge.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Though modern ideas about gender and identity are generally assumed, the film depicts a range of perspectives through its diverse adult characters. Some alternative views are shown, but a non-woke worldview isn’t fully explored or championed.
