What We Think

'Black Butterfly' is about as non-woke as they come in today’s Hollywood. The film sticks to classic storytelling without shoehorning in modern ideological themes. If you’re tired of 'checklist' casting and forced messages, this suspense thriller will feel refreshingly straightforward.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no significant subversion of gender roles or traditional values. The film’s themes are standard thriller fare, with masculinity, morality, and human frailty being depicted in a manner consistent with genre conventions rather than any cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are not mocked or caricatured. The film isn’t interested in delivering any particular social or political message; it’s much more concerned with suspense and character dynamics than ideology.
