The Thaw2022

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

The Thaw is solidly in the modern, mildly woke camp, with identity and gender themes prominent throughout, but it stops short of the most aggressive ideological approaches seen elsewhere.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The Thaw places strong emphasis on its female lead and themes centered on gender, with identity elements taking precedence at times over deeper character development. While competently acted, some story choices seem shaped more by contemporary cultural pressures than organic storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Familial and traditional dynamics, especially around motherhood and masculinity, are questioned and reframed to fit modern frameworks. These themes are explored without outright contempt, but clear signals of modern sensibilities are present throughout.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, particularly traditional or dissenting ones, have minor representation but are not deeply explored. The narrative leans toward a consensus around certain modern values, yet doesn't turn every alternative view into a cartoonish villain.
