Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Woodlawn puts character arcs and narrative ahead of box-checking or trendy identity casting. The film prioritizes a compelling story rooted in real events, focused on sportsmanship, faith, and personal growth. Any diversity present serves the narrative instead of overshadowing it.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film unabashedly emphasizes themes of faith, redemption, family, and traditional values. Masculinity and religion are depicted with respect. If anything, Woodlawn leans hard into affirming the kind of moral foundations Hollywood usually loves to ridicule.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Rather than mocking traditional or faith-based viewpoints, Woodlawn centers its story on them. While less room is given to opposing perspectives, it’s a rare example of Hollywood letting non-woke values take the spotlight.
