Question 1

Is Sinners woke?

Accepted Answer

Sinners has a woke score of 77/100, which means it is heavily driven by woke themes. Ryan Coogler’s original 1932 Mississippi vampire horror drops twin Black bootleggers (Michael B. Jordan) into a Jim Crow juke joint packed with blues, Hoodoo, and ancestral vibes—until Irish vampires (plus turned Klan) crash the party like walking metaphors for cultural theft and white invasion. Black resilience, identity, and music-as-resistance sit front and center, not as side quests. Coogler’s Black Panther track record plus his own interviews calling it “about identity… for our time now” lock it in. Huge hit with 97% RT and Oscars love, but conservative corners scream “anti-white propaganda.” Solidly noticeable agenda baked into the scares. 🍿

Question 2

Is there DEI in Sinners?

Accepted Answer

The biggest factors in our score are Identity-driven story themes, Creator track record context, Institutional / cultural critique. Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
