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

"You Don’t Know Jack" is mostly a biopic focused on a real-world ethical dilemma, not a showcase for shoehorning modern identity politics. While it leans progressive on its central issue, it doesn’t hit you over the head with wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely focuses on the personal and ethical dilemmas surrounding Dr. Jack Kevorkian, rather than shoving in identity-based representation or sacrificing narrative to score ideological points. The character work feels grounded and focused on real people.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Euthanasia is a culturally loaded issue, and the film does portray traditional religious and family perspectives as oppositional and even out of step. Still, it offers some nuance and doesn’t simply ridicule tradition outright.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the majority of the film leans toward the more progressive side of the debate, it does depict opposing voices seriously, even if they’re sometimes painted as obstacles. There’s at least some effort to show more than just one worldview.
