Santa Sangre1989

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

Santa Sangre is far more bizarre than woke, pushing boundaries for shock and art’s sake rather than for any recognizable ideological crusade. No identity box-checking here, just classic, wild Jodorowsky territory.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Santa Sangre is more surrealist horror than woke manifesto. Characterization, symbolism, and narrative all focus on personal trauma and myth rather than identity checklists. Casting and personality feel organic to the story's wild themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is transgressive, deconstructing organized religion and family, but it does so through an avant-garde, psychological lens. It isn’t really interested in modern culture wars or ideological crusades, and traditional gender roles remain largely unexplored.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Santa Sangre hardly preaches any modern ideology at all. Instead, it’s filled with ambiguity, contradiction, and the bizarre, hardly a woke echo chamber. There’s no forced consensus, with multiple worldviews presented as equally deranged or tragic.
