Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God2023

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

'Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God' is a classic case of modern documentary storytelling, eager to subvert tradition, and dismissive of traditional spiritual and cultural values, while promoting alternative identities and worldviews as inherently progressive. Very much in line with HBO's recent trend.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The documentary appears eager to highlight identity-driven, alternative spiritual beliefs, putting more focus on the sensational and unorthodox aspects than on nuanced character arcs or deeper motivations. Personality and human complexity are sometimes flattened to fit exaggerated, trendy narratives about cults and non-traditional roles.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional religion and family norms are portrayed as irrelevant at best, and sometimes barely acknowledged. The subject matter is drenched in critique of conventional morality, often treating the old ways as either naive or contributing to dysfunction, as if the only 'truth' is in abandoning tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The documentary largely sticks to a single, skeptical frame regarding religion and spirituality, rarely giving traditional or dissenting spiritual views a fair or nuanced shake. Nearly everyone critical of the cult is presented as a voice of reason; traditional belief systems aren't explored sympathetically, if at all.
