Not Woke

What is this?

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, faith, and fidelity are explored seriously throughout the film. Religion and masculinity are depicted in nuanced, respectful ways. There is no attempt to undermine or subvert cultural foundations, in fact, the film’s spiritual undertones might frustrate truly woke sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't ridicule alternative viewpoints or descend into strawman portrayals of faith or tradition. Instead, it offers genuine, pluralistic engagement with questions of love, doubt, and belief, steering clear of modern social litmus tests or uniform ideological messaging.
