Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Escobar: Paradise Lost' focuses on crime, tension, and personal stakes without shoving ideological concerns into the spotlight. Characters are developed for their roles and personalities rather than identity factors, with narrative choices serving the story over any modern checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't go out of its way to undermine religion, family, or masculinity. It presents Colombian culture and family dynamics, sometimes even upholding themes of loyalty and tradition. There’s no obvious agenda to rewrite or mock traditional values in the narrative.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present, especially around crime, morality, and personal choices. Characters with different values (family, morality, criminal mindset) are all treated seriously, not just as punchlines or villains, so the film avoids the usual monoculture found in more recent fare.
