What We Think

"Twisted" is a largely non-woke crime thriller. Its focus is on plot and character suspense rather than pushing any strong ideological message. It wouldn't ruffle the feathers of non-woke audiences.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Twisted" presents its protagonist as a competent female homicide inspector, but this appears rooted in a conventional thriller structure rather than forcing modern identity politics. Characters are crafted for the narrative rather than as ideological statements. Identity traits aren't overwrought, and the story mostly focuses on suspense and mystery rather than messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film features a female lead in a traditionally masculine role, it doesn’t demonize men or traditional institutions. Gender role subversion is present but feels organic to the genre, a gritty police procedural, not a deliberate social critique. Religion, family, or tradition are not central themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little indication of a strong ideological push. Dissenting perspectives aren't mocked, and the ‘good guy’/‘bad guy’ dichotomy hinges on personal, not sociopolitical, issues. The film lacks the overt ideological uniformity seen in today's ‘woke’ media.
