Wokeness

2/10

Minimal

A couple of light references, nothing that drives the story.

Audience

No ratings

Bugonia dips lightly into LGBT undertones and mild anti-Western jabs, but mercifully avoids heavy feminist or DEI nonsense. Instead, it disturbingly flirts with implied child molestation via a sitter's creepy past and an awkward apology from the offender, tainting its low-woke potential with sleazy vibes.

What earned the score

  • Implied Child Molestation by Sitter

    A man implies that he sexually molested Teddy, a boy, while babysitting him in the past.

  • Awkward Molestation Apology Scene

    A police officer named Casey, who previously molested Teddy as a child, attempts an awkward apology.
