Awake not Woke!

Completely designed to push the message

The main character is a girl who, right from the start, loses her parents and ends up in orphanages (which they don’t even bother explaining). By the time she’s just 13, she’s made so many mistakes that they transfer her like she’s some adult criminal, until she ends up in a detention center where they supposedly “need her.” And somehow she has this extrasensory sense to figure out that they only want her there so they can hit some political quota and make the place look good. Then, with a whole ghetto attitude, she goes off on the directors and basically anyone she runs into. There isn’t a single male character until one finally shows up, “Raúl,” who used to be “Ramona.” lol! I mean, you can’t get more woke than that! And the only white character that shows up is a grumpy white guy who I’m pretty sure is the antagonist. I lasted 22 minutes watching this trash. Total waste of time.

10 Minutes in and you already know you wasted 11

Ex wife helps out ex Husband after he got out after a BS charge and is now working as a PI by letting him stay in the Gardenhouse but only after he speaks to her new Wife.... a lesbo Boss Bitch... stopped watching after that.... could have had promise as a down on his luck PI shtick... but yeah lets tell men they are second class in the first 10 Minutes...

Not woke, just very good

The film is contemplative and philosophical. If there is a “lesson” to be learnt, it concerns the beauty of the present moment, not some social imperative. There is no ‘villain’ representing a system. Just a good movie !

Nothing woke in this one. The first half was pretty good despite some minor complaints but the second half really brings the entire thing down a notch. Some great acting and performances all around. While I wouldn't call this horror but more thriller there is some very creepy and unsettling scenes. The plot is a resident at a nursing home terrorizes other residents. One of the biggest plot issues is it's set in modern world yet there is not one single camera anywhere to be found and not one person has a cell phone or ever gets visitors from a family member. This guy manages to move about freely terrorizing residents and making tons of noise and there is never a single nurse or orderly ever anywhere. Loud disruptive scenes play out in the middle of the day in a common room and again nobody ever shows up to check. Several highly suspicious deaths that are clearly foul play and no investigation or questions are asked. It all becomes so impossible and ridiculous by the end that it ruins what could of been a nice little thriller that also takes a look at nursing homes, aging and onset dementia. Most of these problems could of been fixed by simply setting it in a different decade like the 70's or even the 80's. Still might be worth a 1 time watch as the acting is very good.
