Awake not Woke!

No woke

Pretty decent movie with nothing woke, but the gen z dialogue can get a bit heavy handed at times.

Gay mixed race brown/white lead couple whos entire story seems to be 'we are gay and life is hard for us' Their acting is by far the worst of the bunch and they are so over the top all over each other obnoxiously super gay. Asian female house sitter/friend fill out the DEI boxes. This is yet another failed horror/comedy. The horror is not scary and more of the silly parody type. The comedy is unfunny awkward eye rolling cringe humor. Parker Posey is actually the best thing about this movie but has hardly any screen time so it's not worth watching just for her scenes.

Lgbtq+ representation.

Anti-commie goodness

The film is based on an autobiographical novel that many historians dispute. It is hard to believe that anyone could escape from a Soviet gulag in Siberia and walk all the way to India. True or not, it makes for a good movie. The beginning and ending scenes are powerful, though in-between it can drag as people slowly starve.
