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

Togo is refreshingly non-woke, a rare breed in today’s Hollywood landscape. The focus is on heroism, sacrifice, and authentic storytelling, not identity checklists or moral lecturing. If you’re tired of modern ideology crowding out good stories, Togo is genuinely a breath of fresh air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Togo is a straightforward adventure rooted in real historical events. The film’s narrative is driven by classical heroism and the incredible bond between man and dog. There's no sign that identity politics or forced representation take center stage over character development or story logic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Togo celebrates traditional values: grit, loyalty, hard work, and family. Masculinity, faith, and community are portrayed as strengths. Far from undermining cultural foundations, it honors them without trying to rewrite history or moral standards to fit modern trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little emphasis on modern ideological messaging. The film focuses on the perseverance of its protagonist and the community. Alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked or villainized, because the story never dives into that terrain. It’s as apolitical as recent Disney gets.
