Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"To Die For" focuses on character flaws, ambition, and dark satire without sacrificing the narrative for modern identity politics. Characters are primarily driven by their personalities and personal motivations rather than serving as identity markers. Representation choices reflect the era, with little overt emphasis on casting for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film satirizes media obsession and ambition, it doesn't engage in undermining traditional family or cultural values in a way that aligns with modern woke standards. It is critical of certain American obsessions, but this falls within the realm of biting satire rather than cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews and flawed characters abound, avoiding a modern ideological monoculture. The depiction of characters ranges from naive to manipulative, with no clear moral superior. Traditional views aren't portrayed as caricatured villains or obviously mocked.
