What We Think

In our view, 'To All the Boys: Always and Forever' is a light, mostly non-woke romcom with contemporary diversity presented matter-of-factly. Its narrative and themes don't push ideology front and center, making it a far cry from Hollywood's more egregiously woke outings.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film features diverse casting with an Asian-American lead, most character arcs and story beats revolve around relatable teen romance and family themes rather than using identity as the main focus. Representation feels baked into the story, not forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional family relationships, love, and coming-of-age moments are central. The depiction of romance and supportive parents actually upholds rather than undermines classical family values. No overt mockery of tradition here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film never openly mocks alternate ideological views but doesn't showcase any real conflict or dissent on cultural issues either. It's not preachy, but everyone seems to comfortably share modern attitudes without much diversity of thought.
