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

‘The Devil’s Rejects’ is the opposite of woke, shock, sleaze, and violence are its brand. There’s almost no sign of modern identity politics or forced messaging here; if anything, its total lack of virtue signals would scandalize the wokest critics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film prioritizes its grim narrative and gritty character work over modern identity politics. Characters are cast for their fit within a twisted horror world, not to check diversity boxes. No sign of forced representation here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While ‘The Devil’s Rejects’ revels in chaos and moral depravity, it isn’t an ideological attack on tradition, it’s just edgy horror. There’s no grand statement on gender, family, or religion; depravity here is more for shock than sermonizing.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This is a film about outlaws versus even worse authority figures. Traditional or dissenting views aren’t lampooned in a ‘woke’ fashion. Ideology barely registers; misery and violence take the stage instead.
