Youth Without Youth2007

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

Youth Without Youth barely registers on the woke-o-meter. It's far more interested in metaphysics than ticking diversity checkboxes, and doesn't undermine traditional culture or engage in ideological groupthink. An old-school thinker’s kind of film.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Youth Without Youth focuses heavily on philosophical and metaphysical themes, with character development and narrative flowing naturally from the story's demands. There's no apparent shoehorning of identity politics or forced representation at the cost of plot or character.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores questions about human experience, language, and time, rather than actively undermining traditional institutions like family, religion, or masculinity. It treats these topics existentially rather than in a subversive or preachy way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Competing worldviews are represented through philosophical debate and character perspectives, rather than being ridiculed. There's a real plurality of ideas at play; the film doesn't demonize tradition or push modern ideologies.
