Under the Tuscan Sun2003

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

Under the Tuscan Sun is pretty benign on the wokeness scale. It’s more about fresh starts and personal growth than pushing modern social agendas. There’s no heavy preaching or cartoonish portrayals of critics or alternatives. You can enjoy your pasta and wine with minimal ideological annoyance.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The narrative focuses on personal growth and recovery after divorce, giving us characters that feel grounded and motivated by their experiences rather than checking any identity boxes. Casting appears organic and story-centric, rather than shoehorning in forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and the importance of home are largely upheld. While the protagonist is a woman pursuing independence, the tone doesn't ridicule tradition or masculine traits. Religious or cultural traditions aren't torn down, but explored with curiosity and respect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t demonized, the narrative is driven by personal change, not by mocking any worldview. There are some gentle jabs at American culture, but not in an aggressively ideological way. Worldview diversity is mild, but not oppressive.
