Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Marshland' is a grounded crime thriller, prioritizing narrative over identity politics. Characters are developed through their personalities, skills, and flaws rather than using identity traits as shortcuts or virtue signals.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores post-Franco Spain but doesn't undermine traditional institutions for modern ideological points. Masculinity, family, and morality are depicted with complexity befitting the gritty noir style rather than being deconstructed for a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t push a one-sided ideological perspective. Characters have nuanced views, and traditional values aren't simply mocked or villainized. There's room for internal conflict and differing perspectives within the story.
