Primary

Project Y is a female-driven neo-noir crime drama that explicitly critiques systemic corruption and economic inequality, portraying its marginalized protagonists' heist as a direct challenge to a "corrupt social order" and championing female agency in the face of structural injustice.

This South Korean neo-noir crime drama is explicitly female-driven, centering two young women in a genre traditionally dominated by men. The narrative employs a female gaze and agency to explore themes of economic inequality, systemic corruption, and gendered survival, actively challenging conventional genre structures.

Secondary

Based on available plot summaries, festival notes, and early reviews, 'Project Y, 2025' does not explicitly feature any LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. The film's focus is on crime, survival, and a female-driven buddy partnership, without indicating a queer dimension.

Project Y (2025) does not appear to feature any identifiable transsexual or transgender characters or themes. Plot descriptions consistently portray the leads as cisgender women, and no sources mention gender transition or trans identity as part of the narrative. The film is primarily described as a female-driven crime noir centered on female agency and social transformation.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The film "Project Y" is identified as an original work, not an adaptation or reboot of existing material. There is no information indicating any character's on-screen gender differs from a previously established canonical or historical gender.

Project Y, 2025 features original characters in an original story set in contemporary South Korea. There is no prior source material or historical context establishing the characters' race differently from their on-screen portrayal by South Korean actors. Thus, no race swap has occurred.
