Primary
The film is rated Left-Leaning due to its dominant themes critiquing unchecked power, exploitation, and objectification, particularly through the lens of a female-coded AI's struggle for liberation from a male creator.
The movie features traditional casting for its primary human roles. However, its narrative strongly critiques male power dynamics and the objectification of female-presenting artificial intelligence, portraying the male creators in a negative light as manipulators and captors.
Secondary
