All the Light We Cannot See2023

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

‘All the Light We Cannot See’ leans on some modern sensibilities, occasionally at the expense of authenticity, but doesn’t go full ‘woke overload’. Still, it sprinkles enough contemporary touches to nudge historical realism out of the spotlight more often than it should.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show maintains much of its World War II narrative integrity, but some casting and dialogue choices seem more influenced by modern expectations of diversity than historical accuracy. There are moments where the characters’ identities are highlighted at the expense of period realism, which can distract from an otherwise compelling story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and faith are present but often take a back seat or are depicted through a contemporary lens. Masculinity and religious themes are less prominent compared to the rich classic source material, nudging the tone in a more updated, less traditional direction.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While overt ideological messaging isn’t constant, dissenting perspectives are mainly present in the form of cartoonishly evil Nazis. Moral nuance is somewhat downplayed, and alternative viewpoints get little sincere representation, suggesting a preference for clear-cut modern moral frameworks.
