Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film stays mostly true to its crime thriller roots, prioritizing plot and atmosphere over overt identity politics. Character arcs are driven by the story and personal histories rather than ideological messaging or performative representation. There is little evidence of forced casting or narrative bending for the sake of wokeness.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes of religion, family, and traditional morality are woven naturally into the narrative, consistent with the bleak, atmospheric style of the Baztan Trilogy. There is no overt subversion or modern revisionism of cultural foundations, and traditional roles are neither mocked nor disproportionately promoted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present and treated with nuance. While some social and gender themes emerge through characters, the film does not villainize dissenting views or push ideological uniformity. The setting remains grounded in regional Spanish culture and folklore.
