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

Wetlands is a poster child for the heavily woke trend, prioritizing provocation and ideological statements over story, and unapologetically trashing traditional values at every turn.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Wetlands places significant emphasis on shock value, taboo-breaking, and challenging sexual and bodily norms, often sidelining traditional narrative depth or character development. The protagonist’s rebellious identity takes clear priority over a more classic story arc, and character choices seem crafted to provoke rather than serve the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film appears to undermine conventional attitudes toward family, sexuality, and morality, consistently portraying traditional norms as restrictive or outdated. Its portrayal of family dysfunction and rejection of personal boundaries could be seen as dismissive of cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative, traditional viewpoints are typically painted as prudish, backward, or simply oppressive. There's little to no genuine or sympathetic representation of conservative or non-woke perspectives; the entire film leans heavily into a single, rebellious worldview.
