What We Think

"We’re All Going to the World’s Fair" mostly avoids the usual “woke” pitfalls, staying focused on its moody, internet horror narrative without distracting ideology. If you’re tired of being lectured by movies, this film is about as non-woke as recent indie cinema gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on psychological horror and coming-of-age themes, rather than shoehorning in identity politics or ticking diversity boxes. Characters are developed through their anxieties and internet subculture obsessions, not their racial, gender, or sexual identities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no overt messaging about family, religion, or masculinity. If anything, the sense of isolation is universal rather than targeted at traditional cultural norms. It’s more nihilistic than preachy on any cultural front.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is more about internet culture and existential dread than pushing any obvious ideological monoculture. Alternative perspectives aren’t actively mocked, they’re just not really relevant to the lonely world it portrays.
