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

"Wish Upon" is refreshingly non-woke by today's Hollywood standards, focusing on traditional horror storytelling over modern ideological trends. It scores low on the woke meter.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Wish Upon" largely focuses on its supernatural horror premise without heavy-handed identity politics. Characters are written around the story's needs rather than shoehorned diversity quotas. The narrative is more concerned with wishes and their consequences than with pushing overt social messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Cultural foundations like family, tradition, and personal morality play roles in the story, but the film doesn't go out of its way to ridicule or deconstruct these elements. There's no overt attack on masculinity, religion, or traditional values, just a typical genre storyline.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not promote a single ideological worldview or caricature dissenters. Characters span a range of attitudes, and the story avoids lecturing the audience on modern moral issues. It's more interested in horror tropes than ideology.
