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

As far from woke as you can get, 'Dance with the Devil' is more interested in provoking the audience with violence and dark comedy than delivering any kind of ideological sermon. If anything, it’s an equal-opportunity offender.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From what we know, 'Dance with the Devil' (also known as 'Perdita Durango') is focused on crime, violence, and dark romance rather than identity politics or ideological messaging. The main casting appears driven by story needs, not a diversity checklist.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's tone is edgy and irreverent, but it doesn’t take aim at family, tradition, or masculinity in any overtly subversive way. Its approach is more about shock value than cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The story features morally ambiguous, deeply flawed characters with a range of worldviews. There’s no strong push for one particular modern ideology, just an embrace of chaos and dark humor.
