What We Think

"Baise-moi" is about as unapologetically "woke" as they come, trading subtlety and nuance for a blunt, chaotic takedown of tradition, restraint, and basic narrative logic. Not for the faint of heart, or for fans of non-woke storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Baise-moi" heavily prioritizes themes of violent female empowerment and shock value over coherent character development or plausible motivation. Identity and ideology seem to eclipse narrative realism, with protagonists' actions and resilience sometimes stretching credibility to its limits in service of a statement.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film appears to enthusiastically subvert traditional gender roles, painting traditional morality, family, and masculinity as antiquated if not toxic. Its approach to sex and violence openly dismisses conventional norms, and religious or conservative values are notably absent and implicitly undermined.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints to the film’s aggressive philosophy are virtually nonexistent; any social or traditional perspectives are sidelined or caricatured. Dissent isn’t just ignored, it’s steamrolled, creating a very one-sided ideological landscape throughout.
