Message 4/5	Explores "sickness and health" part of marital vows, the support and love needed to make it through illness, the way that profound grief and loss can change the nature of a relationship, how being with an encouraging and loving partner can get you through even the darkest situations. Themes include compassion, empathy, perseverance.
Role model 4/5	Tom and Joan have different personalities, and they're not perfect, but they also have a solid, honest marriage full of love. They can bicker, even argue, but remain devoted, loyal to each other. Joan is thoughtful, kind to fellow patients as she deals with cancer. Tom takes care of Joan throughout her treatment.
Violence 1/5	Discussions of an adult child's death. A fish dies, and Tom flushes it down the toilet. A friend dies from cancer. Sadness/stress.
Sex 3/5	Tom and Joan hold hands, hug, kiss. In one scene, they make love in their bed; it's brief, not graphic. They discuss whether Tom will miss Joan's breasts after her mastectomy. Brief nonsexual nudity while Joan undergoes scans/testing.
Language 3/5	Infrequent: "s--t," "bloody," "idiot," "stupid," "arse."
Consumerism 1/5	Tom and Joan drive a Volvo, which is visible in several scenes.
Drugs 2/5	Tom drinks beer on a few occasions. They buy beer at the market and have wine for dinner. Adults smoke cigarettes.

Review Title

Rating*

Rating is just the typical 5 star rating you'd give the film like you'd see on any other review site.

Support*

Support is a boycott suggestion and is meant to be a way for us to consolidate our efforts in “voting with our dollars.” Obviously, Hollywood has proven that they will sacrifice profits for the sake of their agenda, but they’re not as monolithic as you’d think. And people still respond to incentives.

So the 3 options are:

Pay to watch:

This movie is worth your time, and you should support the creators financially so we get more content like it.

Watch it AND give them money.

Watch if free:

The show is entertaining, but you shouldn’t reward the creators for whatever reason. Perhaps you don't want to support preachy celebs who hate their fans. Or maybe you enjoy superhero movies and nostalgia bait, but don't want to encourage Hollywood to continue making them in such a high ratio.

That’s when you’d click the “Watch Now” button and choose from one of the “Free” links:

( Use at your own risk. ZeitgeistReviews does not endorse any of the links and we don’t condone piracy. And we definitely discourage you from using this Reddit thread that shows you all of the places to pirate movies & tv. )

Watch it BUT don’t give them money.

Skip it:

This means the movie wasn’t even worth your time. Maybe it's so full of Woke crap that you’ll want to pull your hair out half way through. Or it could simply just be a piece of s**t, and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Don’t watch it AND don’t give them money.

( Note: We have expanded our site from just TV & Movies. Now we have games and will add music/books/etc. So the wording might change but the sentiment is still the same for every "Support" section. )

Review text*

Note: Please wrap spoilers [spoiler] like this. [/spoiler]

Neo-Marxism

Neo-Marxism, (sometimes referred to as "Cultural Marxism"), rates the amount of fanatic egalitarianism in a film. Consider this mainly a rating for anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist themes.

Feminism

Strong and multidimensional female characters are fine. This is mainly referring to girlboss crap, unrealistic Mary Sue content, and/or egregious scenes of manhood being disparaged.

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action rates how much "diversity" is being pushed. ( Not true diversity, but the anti-White checklist kind.)

Gay Stuff

Gay Stuff rates the amount of non-tradional sexuality depicted.

Fedora Tipping

Fedora Tipping rates the amount of atheism / Scientism™ in a film.
