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

Borgman is a surreal, disturbing parable with little evidence of 'woke' narrative meddling. It subverts cultural norms, but its intent seems more artistic than ideological. Not even close to the Hollywood woke checklist.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Borgman is an enigmatic thriller with little emphasis on identity politics or modern ideological casting. Characters are shaped by their actions and psychological depth rather than diversity checkboxes, so narrative integrity seems largely preserved.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film subtly undermines family and social order through its subversive plot, but does so as part of a broader allegorical critique, not explicit ideology. Traditional institutions are disturbed, but it's more surreal horror than a 'woke' takedown.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Borgman presents a world filled with ambiguity and leaves much for interpretation. There's no obvious ideological lecturing or clear villainization of non-woke views. The story is more about psychological unraveling than modern political narratives.
