Leans Traditional

Primary

The film functions as a broad social satire, critiquing human nature, corporate manipulation, and the desperation of a struggling community without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or solution, thus earning a neutral rating.

This film features a cast that is predominantly white, aligning with traditional casting norms. Its narrative focuses on satirical themes related to human behavior and societal pressures, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.

Secondary

The film satirizes a small, predominantly Christian town, portraying its religious community as hypocritical, judgmental, and easily swayed by greed. The narrative highlights how the pursuit of a 'moral' goal leads to paranoia and self-righteousness, ultimately critiquing the institution and its adherents.

Cold Turkey does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative is entirely focused on a town's collective effort to quit smoking, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.

Cold Turkey (1971) is a satirical comedy centered on a town's effort to collectively quit smoking. The film does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore transgender themes, resulting in no depiction relevant to the evaluation criteria.
