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

"Vesper" lightly sprinkles in woke sensibilities, empowered young heroine, some traditional roles sidelined, but avoids overt soapboxing. It’s more a chilly, minimalist sci-fi than a sermon, so its wokeness is present but not overwhelming.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The protagonist is a young female genius in a post-apocalyptic world. While she's resourceful, some viewers might feel her competence outpaces her situation, verging on idealization. However, themes of identity aren’t heavily emphasized at the expense of plot, so woke elements aren’t front-and-center.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family or religious themes are mostly absent, and masculinity is notable mostly by its absence. The film doesn’t overtly mock these ideas, though it does center on nontraditional, self-reliant characters, leaning subtly into modern norms without going full lecture mode.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are barely present; the story’s world is simply built around survival, not debate. Traditional values and dissenting perspectives appear largely marginalized, but villainization isn’t overly cartoonish compared to some films.
