Begotten1991

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Begotten is about as non-woke as it gets, esoteric, experimental, and uninterested in modern identity politics. Its unsettling visuals are more about artistic provocation than ideology. If you’re worried about Hollywood “wokeness,” this one’s a safe bet, though certainly not for the faint of heart.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Begotten" is a surreal, experimental film with extremely minimal dialogue and no discernible focus on character identity or modern political themes. There is absolutely no emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality as narrative devices.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film is highly abstract and reinterprets mythological and religious motifs in disturbing ways, it does not overtly critique or mock traditional values for modern ideological purposes. Any subversion is more artistic than ideological.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no clear ideological message or worldview imposed. The film resists easy interpretation and doesn’t promote any contemporary social agenda. Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked because there is no dialogue or stated perspective at all.
