Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter revolves around personal relationships, family dynamics, and individual desires, which are inherently apolitical. It observes various characters' struggles and choices without advocating for specific political solutions or critiquing systems from an ideological standpoint, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative primarily frames traditional identities in a neutral or positive light, without strong or explicit DEI critiques central to the story.
Secondary
The film includes a subplot where the character Loïc explores his same-sex attraction, depicted with sensitivity as part of his coming-of-age. This portrayal avoids negative stereotypes or mockery. However, as a minor storyline within an ensemble, it doesn't constitute a central or strongly affirming message, resulting in a neutral overall impact on LGBTQ+ themes.
The film 'Summer Things' (Embrassez qui vous voudrez) does not feature any transsexual characters or explore themes related to transgender identity. The narrative focuses on the interpersonal relationships and vacation experiences of its ensemble cast, without any depiction relevant to the rubric's criteria.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Summer Things" is an adaptation of Joseph Connolly's novel "Vacances anglaises." A review of the main characters and plot indicates no instances where a character's established gender from the source material was changed for the film adaptation.
The film "Summer Things" (2002) is an adaptation of a French novel. There is no evidence that any character canonically established as one race in the source material was portrayed by an actor of a different race in the film.
