Question 1

Is Anniversary woke?

Accepted Answer

Anniversary has a woke score of 91/100, which means it is heavily driven by woke themes. The movie constantly lectures about right-wing fascism spreading like a disease and the need to resist "The Change" movement the whole way through. The progressive family includes a lesbian feminist comedian daughter who gets persecuted for her anti-regime comedy and feminist solidarity. Strong explicit ideological dialogue and visible queer representation hammer the activist message hard from start to finish.
