What We Think

'Third Star' is refreshingly non-woke, with heartfelt character work, respect for friendship and tradition, and minimal evidence of the forced identity politics common in recent cinema. A welcome retreat from Hollywood’s preachier tendencies.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Third Star' centers around four male friends, focusing on character depth, friendship, and mortality, rather than identity politics or forced representation. Characters are developed based on personal struggles and relationships, rather than checklists. It appears to prioritize authentic storytelling over fashionable activism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no evident agenda to undermine family, masculinity, or tradition. The film explores themes of male friendship, loyalty, and mortality, engaging earnestly with questions of legacy, vulnerability, and love without mocking traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t peddle any overt ideological line or caricature alternative worldviews. While it focuses on a specific group of friends and their struggles, it doesn’t aggressively push any modern ideological agenda or vilify dissenters. Nuanced exploration prevails.
