Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Exorcist III stays focused on story, with casting and character arcs tailored to narrative needs rather than identity politics. There's little sign of forced representation, and character competence or flaws are rooted in plot and personality, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats religion, specifically Catholicism and exorcism, as central, legitimate forces. Traditional family and moral values are integral to the story, without being mocked or undermined. Masculine traits, authority figures, and faith are portrayed respectfully.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are part of the plot, with skepticism and religious belief both explored sincerely. No side is caricatured or villainized merely for traditional values. Genuine debate and pluralism are present.
