Overview

Set in 1960s London, Flawless follows a female diamond company executive and a night janitor who team up to rob their employer from the inside. Michael Caine and Demi Moore anchor a crime thriller that doubles as a period study in corporate sexism and class grievance. The Leans Progressive label comes from two directions. The film frames its heist as justified redistribution from a corrupt, exploitative institution, and it treats the janitor's identity as a trans woman with quiet dignity, depicting her goal of gender-affirming surgery as entirely legitimate. Neither element is loudly polemical, but together they give the film a clear moral lean that separates it from a straight genre picture.
