What We Think

Two Distant Strangers is a highly 'woke' film that puts ideology front and center, sidestepping nuanced character work or authentic cultural exploration. It offers a one-sided, overtly political take that leaves little room for alternative perspectives.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film's narrative appears driven more by ideological messaging than nuanced storytelling. The central theme, repetitive police violence, overshadows character development and subtlety, resulting in archetypes rather than well-rounded people. Complex moral questions are often replaced by straightforward polemics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional authority figures, like the police, are depicted almost exclusively as antagonists, while themes like family, faith, or restorative justice are marginalized or unexplored. The film places modern cultural grievances above more universal or time-tested values, in our view.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are practically nonexistent. The story gives no meaningful nuance to dissenting views or traditional interpretations of law, order, or community, opting instead for a singular ideological outlook that aligns neatly with prevailing 'woke' talking points.
