What We Think

Hardly a woke project, this documentary stays in its lane, telling Boris Becker's story without shoehorning modern ideological trappings. Viewers looking for traditional documentary storytelling will find little to object to here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This documentary primarily focuses on Boris Becker's career, personal life, and legal troubles. The narrative isn't sidetracked by modern identity politics, nor are character traits unduly highlighted over sporting achievements. Its focus remains firmly on Becker as an individual rather than an ideological symbol.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film spends most of its time on themes like family, success, downfall, and redemption, reflecting a traditional arc. No major subversion of masculinity, family values, or cultural traditions stands out, Becker's flaws and attributes are explored without tying them to wider cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film doesn't dive deep into ideological debates, the recurring focus is Becker's personal journey, not hot-button social commentary. It doesn't villainize alternative viewpoints but sticks to its biographical, sports-centric roots. If anything, it stays refreshingly apolitical for a modern documentary.
