What We Think

True Romance is about as non-woke as Hollywood gets. It delivers pulp storytelling with little interest in modern ideological checklists, focusing instead on eccentric, flawed characters and chaotic romance. Safe for those weary of today's politically correct pandering.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

True Romance is a product of the early '90s, focusing on gritty storytelling and character-driven plots, rather than shoehorning identity politics or modern representation demands into its narrative. Characters are defined by their quirks, flaws, and choices, not their demographics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and masculinity are treated as organic elements within the story. Traditional relationships are central, and there’s little to no evidence of mocking established values. The film isn’t interested in revising history or lecturing on social norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, whether on morality, crime, or romance, are portrayed with complexity, not just filtered through a single ideological lens. There's no clear agenda, and characters often challenge each other’s worldviews.
