Third Person2014

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

Third Person stays refreshingly non-woke, focusing on character-driven drama over social commentary. It’s a throwback to more traditional storytelling, largely free from 21st-century Hollywood activism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Third Person focuses on complex character dynamics and emotional storytelling without shoehorning identity politics or casting for the sake of representation. The film’s conflicts are rooted in human flaws rather than ideology, prioritizing narrative authenticity over modern social messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film deals with traditional themes such as relationships, parenthood, and love, set within the familiar framework of Western culture. It does not subvert or undermine core cultural values, and portrays gender roles and family with a mostly neutral, if not slightly traditional, lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of an ideological echo chamber here. Characters possess contrasting worldviews, motivations, and flaws, and no particular agenda is pushed. Dissenting perspectives are not villainized, which allows for a richer, more nuanced depiction of adult relationships.
