Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on personal growth and family dynamics rather than pushing modern identity themes. Characters are defined by unique personalities and flaws, not just their demographic traits. Casting choices reflect the story’s premise rather than ticking boxes. Any social commentary stays grounded in the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, masculinity, and family are portrayed in fairly traditional, even affectionate ways. The film doesn’t tear down cultural or familial structures, if anything, it mildly pokes fun at them. There’s no attempt to reframe classic values as backward or dangerous.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a wide range of views and personalities among the characters, and no ideological echo chamber. Dissent and debate are woven naturally into the family dynamic, not presented as villainous or backward.
