What We Think

"Bad Education" is a provocative, artistically ambitious film with its share of ideological leanings, especially concerning religion and gender. However, it stops short of sacrificing narrative depth for overt messaging, settling into the mid-range on the woke scale.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Bad Education" prioritizes its complex storytelling and character-driven plot over overt ideological messaging. While sexual identity and trauma are central, these aspects generally serve the narrative rather than override it. Forced representation or exaggerated competence isn’t at the forefront.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film takes a critical look at Spanish Catholicism, family, and sexuality, which could be interpreted as challenging or undermining traditional religious and moral values. For non-woke viewers, this approach borders on cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Most traditional perspectives are shown primarily as sources of conflict or abuse, with little room for nuance or sincere defense. Alternative worldviews largely exist as antagonistic forces, making the film's outlook less pluralistic.
