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

Where the Truth Lies is far more interested in classic noir intrigue than pushing a modern agenda. Viewers looking for a traditional, non-woke mystery will find little to object to here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Where the Truth Lies is primarily a noir-ish crime mystery. Characterization focuses on personal ambition and moral failings, with little attention paid to identity politics or enforced diversity. The plot does not appear to sacrifice narrative for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film certainly explores dark themes, it does so in service of the genre rather than a contemporary social agenda. Masculinity and traditional roles are depicted through flawed, complex characters with no overt ideological undermining of cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The worldview is cynical but not monolithic. The film does not promote or villainize any modern ideology, nor does it deride alternative worldviews. Its main concerns are individual motivation and corruption.
