What We Think

Nacho Libre is about as non-woke as modern comedies get. It’s a silly, earnest story that doesn’t bend over backwards for modern ideological trends. Its focus remains on fun, quirky characters and slapstick rather than forced representation or political messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Nacho Libre mainly focuses on character-driven comedy. It centers on Nacho's genuine struggle and ambition rather than his identity markers. Casting and character arcs feel organic to the story’s quirky world, with little emphasis on shoehorned representation or modern ideological signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely respects traditional themes like faith, community, and family, albeit with a layer of goofy humor. Masculinity isn’t mocked; Nacho's goofy bravado is played for laughs, but not in a way that feels ideologically charged. No attempts at cultural revisionism are evident.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie doesn’t push any discernible ideological monoculture. Characters are eccentric individuals rather than stand-ins for political points, and there’s no sense that alternate viewpoints are being villainized or suppressed. It's just classic slapstick and underdog humor.
