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

While harsh on religious institutions, 'Deliver Us from Evil' sticks to its core investigation without indulging in common woke Hollywood tropes or narrative engineering. Woke level is quite low, though some may see its stance on religion as lacking balance.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film primarily presents real-life testimony and facts around clergy abuse, there's no shoehorned-in diversity casting or identity politics since it's a documentary. Narrative choices feel focused on the subject rather than pushing unrelated ideological concerns.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While it critiques aspects of institutional religion, the film focuses on real abuses, not on mocking faith, families, or masculinity as a whole. Still, religious institutions are under severe scrutiny, and some may view this as undermining traditional foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The film strongly frames the Catholic institution in a negative light with little space for more sympathetic viewpoints toward traditional religion or internal reform, which some viewers may see as a monocultural critique.
