Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict champions scientific rationalism and progressive thought against the dangers of authoritarian religious conservatism, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values despite a nuanced portrayal of all characters.
The movie features a diverse cast with international actors, though its narrative does not explicitly focus on racial or ethnic diversity in casting. However, the film strongly critiques traditional societal structures, religious dogma, and gender inequity, portraying an insular community negatively for its ostracization of a scientifically-minded woman and a child perceived as different.
Secondary
The film portrays the local Catholic community and its priest as rigid, fearful, and superstitious, leading to the ostracization and persecution of a young boy believed to be demonically possessed. The narrative contrasts this religious perspective negatively with scientific rationalism, highlighting its problematic impact.
