What We Think

'Bandidas' tweaks some tropes with its female leads, but it’s more comedic caper than ideological statement. Woke points are minimal, this film is mostly just in it for the fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

'Bandidas' mostly prioritizes entertainment over ideology. While the central roles are women in an action-comedy Western setting, a twist on tradition, the casting and characterization fit within the genre’s playful, tongue-in-cheek style rather than feeling forced or political.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The movie flips the Western’s typical gender roles, but it does so in a lighthearted way that borders on parody. Masculinity and family aren’t attacked, if anything, the traditional dynamics are played for laughs. It doesn’t take itself seriously as a vehicle for cultural subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s not much in the way of heavy-handed messaging or ideological preaching here. The focus is on fun and hijinks, not browbeating the audience with modern moral assumptions. Traditional and alternative viewpoints aren't really explored or derided either.
