Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film tells the true story of survivors of abuse within the Church, focusing squarely on their struggles for justice. Character traits are presented for realism and narrative impact rather than a checklist of identities. No obvious signs of forced representation or implausible character abilities are present.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

While the film is critical of institutional failures within the Catholic Church, it does not make blanket statements about faith or family. However, its criticism of church authority and exposure of moral failings could be interpreted as undermining traditional religious institutions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film gives voice to survivors and critiques abuses of power, but it largely sticks to one side of the debate regarding the Church, without much nuanced representation of alternative perspectives. However, it's grounded in real events, making pluralism less relevant.
