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

More crude than woke, 'The Haunted World of El Superbeasto' is an equal-opportunity offender with little interest in pushing progressive ideology. Its outrageous irreverence may be offensive to some, but not because it's toeing the woke line.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's narrative is primarily driven by outrageous humor and genre parody, rather than modern ideological motivations. Character identity is played for laughs rather than as a soapbox. It's an equal-opportunity offender, more interested in crude jokes than ticking boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values and institutions are mostly background noise here, with the film opting to mock everything in sight rather than specifically undermine religion, masculinity, or the family. If anything, it's too irreverent for its own good, but not in pursuit of a woke agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't really promote any coherent ideology, woke or otherwise. If anything, it gleefully lampoons everyone and everything. There's scant evidence of ideological monoculture, unless 'chaos' counts as an ideology.
