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

Wicked Little Letters lands firmly on the woke side of the ledger, using pointed humor and modern identity politics to reinterpret history. Tradition is mocked rather than honored, and the script bends over backward to showcase 'correct' attitudes, making the film a prime example of the current Hollywood trend.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film puts significant emphasis on identity and gender themes, arguably at the expense of nuanced character development. The casting and storyline appear crafted to foreground representation, somewhat sidelining organic wit and complexity in favor of scoring modern ideological points. This comes across as prioritizing message over story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and small-town family values are regularly lampooned or subverted, with older norms portrayed as oppressive or laughable. The film leans into revisionist history, reinterpreting the past to suit present-day talking points, which might frustrate viewers seeking authenticity or balance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film leaves virtually no room for dissenting viewpoints, painting conservative or traditional characters as either buffoons or villains. Every character who lands on the 'right side' of modern morality gets a halo, with little genuine pluralism or internal debate.
