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

‘What Have I Done to Deserve This?’ satirizes Spanish life without pushing modern woke ideology. Its characters are flawed, its critique of tradition is situational and reflective rather than preachy, and it never stoops to the virtue-signaling checklists so common today.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film uses dark humor and social satire, its focus remains on character flaws, personal struggle, and absurdity rather than checking modern diversity boxes. Identity is woven into the story through relatable, flawed characters, not as a checklist.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film critiques traditional family life and social institutions, portraying dysfunction and gender roles in a satirical, at times irreverent, manner. However, it does so in the context of 1980s Spain, reflecting its time more than pushing contemporary ideological trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Though there is some lampooning of traditional norms, differing perspectives aren't purely villainized. The film explores a diversity of flaws, motives, and outcomes, avoiding heavy modern ideological messaging or uniformity.
