What We Think

Stuart: A Life Backwards is a rare modern drama that actually puts story and character first, steering clear of trendy wokeness. Its focus on gritty realism and genuine human character makes it refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Stuart: A Life Backwards tells a deeply human story focused on character and struggle, rather than shoehorning identity politics or quota casting. The plot centers on real, flawed people, with casting and character development prioritizing narrative realism over modern ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores difficult themes like homelessness, abuse, and mental health without blatantly undermining traditional values or reinterpreting cultural foundations through a modern ideological lens. It’s raw and honest, not preachy or agenda-driven.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film is compassionate and perhaps a bit left-leaning in its social perspective, it does not ridicule or narrow all perspectives into caricatures. There is room for complexity, and alternative worldviews aren’t villainized or erased.
