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

Taxidermia is provocative art-house cinema, uninterested in woke virtue signaling. It's all about body horror, absurd satire, and a dark view of history, a non-woke fever dream rather than a modern activist checklist.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Taxidermia is known for its shocking, surreal, and grotesque storytelling, but it does not appear to sacrifice narrative cohesion for trendy ideological agendas or forced identity politics. Its characters are crafted for thematic effect rather than box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Taxidermia is deeply critical and satirical of Hungarian history and family legacy, it does this more as grotesque absurdism than modern ideological subversion. Some may see its portrayal of tradition as bleak, but it’s not preaching woke values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is iconoclastic and critical of many institutions, but it doesn’t present a unified modern ideological perspective, nor does it villainize dissent in a woke fashion. It’s more about grotesque excess and existential despair.
