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

Despite biting commentary and subversive surrealism, 'The Dance of Reality' is focused more on personal expression than checking modern 'woke' boxes. It’s a fever dream, not a sermon from the Twitter pulpit.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Dance of Reality' puts artistic vision and surreal storytelling at the forefront, with character identities and arcs being deeply personal rather than box-checking for representation. Its emphasis is on psychological depth and symbolism, not dialing in forced diversity or ideological quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film does explore themes questioning family, religion, and morality, but it does so through a critical, surreal, and personal lens rather than a preachy modern ideological one. Some traditions are challenged, but not in a manner that screams agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alejandro Jodorowsky’s film is anything but an echo chamber. It invites viewers into a weird, pluralistic world full of conflicting beliefs and oddities; alternatives aren’t villainized but rather explored or mocked equally in service of the story.
