Woke Score
Lower is better
Review
The movie is a pure father-son drama about a dying window cleaner who searches for a loving adoptive family for his young son. No social justice lectures, no identity politics, no girlboss rebellion, no anti-male messaging, and no activist themes at all. The story stays locked on everyday paternal love, sacrifice, and loss with zero modern ideological framing.
