Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dominion maintains a focus on storytelling and character-driven drama without shoehorning in identity-based casting or ideology. Characters are developed based on their roles and personal struggles rather than contemporary identity politics. There is no overt or forced representation distracting from the main narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film does wrestle with themes of faith, evil, and morality, it treats religion and traditional values with respect and as central to the plot. It doesn't mock or deconstruct religion for the sake of modern commentary, with Christian themes earning thoughtful, serious consideration throughout.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Dominion doesn't present a one-sided ideological message or villainize traditional beliefs. Characters express doubt and faith from different perspectives, and the film allows meaningful engagement with alternate worldviews, especially regarding morality and spirituality.
