Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Words and Pictures’ centers around a classic romance and intellectual rivalry without shoehorning in ideological box-checking. The leads are developed based on their personalities and professions rather than identity factors. The story avoids heavy-handed messaging, focusing on character growth and wit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional ideas about gender, family, and morality remain largely unchallenged in the film. Masculinity isn’t demonized, religion isn’t mocked, and the movie actually explores romance and morals in a refreshingly straightforward manner, for once.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t demonize alternative perspectives or try to turn every disagreement into a referendum on modern ideological battles. There’s genuine tension and contrast between characters’ ideas, not just identity politics.
