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

'We Have a Ghost' lands in the mildly woke category: diverse casting and some modern norms are present, but narrative and entertainment still take the front seat. Could definitely be woker, but doesn’t fully leap off the activist deep end.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film does feature a diverse cast, but the story itself is fairly conventional, focusing on family and friendship rather than leaning heavily into identity politics. While representation is visible, it doesn’t seem overwhelmingly forced, though some moments border on ticking boxes for the sake of it.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Family relationships are central and mostly positive, with a standard but somewhat modern dynamic. There’s a few nods toward contemporary norms, and traditional authority figures are portrayed as either clueless or flawed, but nothing outrageously activist or revisionist.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Dissenting viewpoints or alternative takes are largely absent, and there's an undercurrent of poking fun at conservative or traditional types. However, this is played for laughs rather than as a primary focus. The worldview is modern and unchallenged, though not aggressively so.
