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

O.J.: Made in America is a polished, in-depth documentary, but its focus on modern racial discourse and institutional critique pushes it well into "woke" territory. It’s unlikely to satisfy viewers looking for a more non-woke, balanced narrative.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The documentary heavily emphasizes issues of race, identity, and systemic injustice throughout O.J. Simpson's story, sometimes at the expense of more balanced individual character development. Some viewers may interpret the narrative as prioritizing sociopolitical themes over a neutral recounting of events.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film often critiques traditional elements of society, particularly law enforcement and the justice system, painting them as systemically flawed. It discusses family and celebrity culture but primarily through the lens of institutional bias and modern ideological lenses.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives on race, policing, and justice are generally framed within historic wrongdoings, with little room given to more non-woke or traditional interpretations. The documentary leans heavily into one side of the cultural conversation.
