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

Almost a relic of non-woke filmmaking, 'Wait Until Dark' is focused on suspense rather than ideology. There's no shoehorned messaging, revisionist history, or monocultural virtue signaling. A breath of fresh air compared to today's heavy-handed scripts.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story is tightly constructed around suspense and character dynamics, not social messaging. The main character’s blindness is central to the plot, but her competence is earned through believable struggle, not ideology. No obvious identity-based casting or forced representation here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, gender roles, and morality are largely respected. The tension rests on classic virtues like courage, resilience, and familial bonds. No subversion of religion, family, or masculinity is present in a way that caters to modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Different perspectives and moral dilemmas are explored without ideological lecturing. There is no heavy-handed villainization of traditional worldviews or push for homogenous modern values.
