What We Think

‘Welcome to the Dollhouse’ is about as far from the modern 'woke' template as you can get. It’s a painfully honest, sometimes brutal look at growing up, with not a hint of forced ideology. Non-woke gold.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's narrative centers around awkward adolescence and family dysfunction without pushing identity-based or ideological character traits. Characters are deeply flawed and realistically depicted, with personality and struggle taking precedence over virtue signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While family dysfunction is depicted, there’s no heavy-handed subversion of religion, masculinity, or cultural norms. It’s more of a raw portrait of suburban malaise rather than any kind of activist hit-piece.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on universal adolescent struggles. It doesn’t take obvious shots at traditional values or set up cartoonish villains representing opposing perspectives. There’s no apparent ideological filter on display.
