The Pervert's Guide to Ideology2012

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 Pervert's Guide to Ideology leaves no room for non-woke interpretations, using every cinematic and theoretical tool possible to push left-wing ideas while side-eyeing anything traditional or dissenting. Think of it as a feature-length ideological lecture, hardly subtle or pluralistic.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film is essentially a prolonged ideological essay; the narrative isn't about characters or story, but rather about weaving leftist theory through pop culture analysis. Individual merit or traditional character arcs aren't a concern here, it's all about presenting ideology through every frame.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional institutions, religion, family, national identity, come in for major critique. The film questions their very role and even suggests they're tools for manipulation, all through a distinctly modern, progressive lens. Don’t expect much respect for foundational values here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are either ignored or critiqued through a stereotypically 'reactionary' lens. The film presents its leftist take as essentially the only game in town. There's little space, if any, for dissenting views with any nuance.
