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

"Us Again" blends its diverse cast naturally and sticks to uplifting, universal themes. It leans into modern sensibilities, but doesn't tip into overt "wokeness" or preachiness. Mildly woke by Hollywood standards, but not egregiously so.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Us Again" emphasizes diversity through its minority leads but does so with organic storytelling and without heavy-handed messaging. The film builds a heartfelt narrative around aging and love, focusing more on universal themes than on identity-driven plot points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film gently subverts traditional family or generational roles, highlighting modern relationships and elderly romance. However, it largely avoids undermining religion, traditional morality, or masculinity, its message is mostly positive, if a bit sanitized and modernized.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There are light hints of ideological uniformity in its focus on positive representation. Still, "Us Again" doesn’t villainize dissenting perspectives or overtly mock traditional values. Any lack of pluralism feels more like a product of its runtime than overt messaging.
