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

Hell Baby is refreshingly unwoke. Its priorities are jokes, not virtue signaling, making it a rare non-woke entry in a sea of modern comedies. Sarcasm wins over sermonizing, and the result is a film blissfully free from the usual Hollywood talking points.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hell Baby plays it fast and loose, but in terms of woke storytelling, it barely registers. Casting and character arcs are more focused on absurdist comedy than ticking identity boxes, with no forced representation or hyper-competent diverse leads undermining the fun or structure.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film does poke fun at tradition, family, and religion, but always for laughs. While it lampoons priests and exorcisms, it doesn't come across as an ideological hit job, it's more in the spirit of parody than cultural subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's very little in the way of political signaling. Any overt messaging or moral lecturing is replaced by crude humor and irreverent gags. The film doesn't preach and doesn't villainize dissenting perspectives beyond the usual comedy tropes.
