Wokeometer Rating

Scale: 0 = not woke, 10 = maximally woke
TL;DR Verdict
The film scores 9/10 woke by building its entire plot, conflict, and resolution around a teen girl's embrace of same-sex attraction as the central driver. Skip it if you want stories, not messaging.

Detailed Analysis
The film's entire premise centers on 17-year-old Coley (Maya da Costa) discovering romantic and intimate feelings for another girl, Sonya (Myra Molloy), after moving to rural Oregon following her mother's death.
The narrative explicitly frames Coley's self-doubt and Sonya's uncertainty about 'dating girls' as the central conflict, with the story resolving through their embrace of same-sex attraction. This is not incidental diversity or organic character development but the foundational driver, as the plot, emotional arcs, and resolution would collapse without the queer romance element.
Key Factors
- Core premise is a sapphic coming-of-age romance with self-discovery of lesbian attraction as the primary emotional driver
- Directed by Hayley Kiyoko, who explicitly positions the project as personal queer representation and a 'love letter' to her younger self coming out
- Released and marketed around Pride Month with emphasis on 'queer joy' and sapphic visibility; positive reception concentrated in LGBTQ+ audiences
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
