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

Uglies leans heavily into modern identity politics, offering a world where traditional values are often subverted and alternative viewpoints silenced. Its lack of nuance and focus on ideological messaging place it high on the woke scale.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Uglies places heavy emphasis on conformity, beauty standards, and identity, with much of the story revolving around characters' societal labels and surface-level traits. In our view, narrative and world-building often feel tailored to drive home social commentary, with ideology sometimes overshadowing organic character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film seems to critique traditional views on beauty and societal norms, and frequently undermines or pathologizes systems like family and authority. Masculinity and established traditions get a raw deal, often being painted as oppressive or outdated within the film's framework.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives on conformity, beauty, or individuality are largely presented as caricatures or outright villainous. Few characters question the dominant perspective, and dissent is handled in a predictably negative light, leaving minimal room for pluralism or real debate.
