What We Think

‘Loving Pablo’ keeps things gritty and grounded, focusing on crime and conflicted characters rather than ticking 'woke' checkboxes. If you're looking for a film largely untouched by Hollywood's latest ideological trends, this one goes old school.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses primarily on the criminal exploits and downfall of Pablo Escobar, keeping identity politics and forced representation almost wholly absent. Character arcs are driven by personal motives and historical events rather than modern ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes of family, religion, and masculinity are depicted, albeit through the lens of Escobar's criminal lifestyle. The film doesn't engage in cultural revisionism or overtly undermine established values; if anything, it largely preserves them for dramatic effect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no noticeable push towards ideological uniformity. While some moral messaging is present, multiple perspectives are depicted, including those of law enforcement, journalists, and Escobar's associates, without demonizing traditional viewpoints.
