Leans Progressive
Primary
The film explores the universal quest for home and identity for an expectant couple, focusing on personal relationships and authenticity rather than engaging with political ideologies or advocating for societal change. Its core subject matter is apolitical, and its solution is deeply personal and relational.
The movie features visible diversity through its biracial lead actress in a central role, though these are original characters not subject to explicit race-swapping. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on a couple's journey without engaging in critical DEI themes.
Secondary

Their family is portrayed positively as a nurturing and functional unit, offering an affirming depiction of LGBTQ+ relationships and parenthood. The narrative treats their identity with respect, contributing to a net positive impact.
