What We Think

A product of its time, 'Waiting for the Hearse' is refreshingly non-woke, rooted in witty generational satire rather than moralizing. Its comedic edge targets human folly, not cultural traditions or identity politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Waiting for the Hearse' (1985) is a classic Argentine black comedy, and doesn't appear to shoehorn in modern identity politics or forced representation. The focus stays firmly on dysfunctional family dynamics and satire, not ideological box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film lampoons family life and the foibles of its characters but doesn't undermine tradition or morality in a modern ideological sense. It pokes fun, but mainly through relatable generational conflict, not agenda-driven subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the movie has some satirical edge, it offers a variety of perspectives among its characters. There's little sense of ideological monoculture or villainization of traditional views; instead, most characters are flawed and relatable.
