Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The film leans left due to its central focus on female empowerment, challenging social hierarchies, and critiquing male predatory behavior, aligning with progressive values. However, it also presents a strong cautionary tale about the corrupting influence and misuse of power, which tempers its overall ideological stance.
The film incorporates diverse casting, featuring a Black actress in a lead role whose character directly addresses experiences with racism. Its narrative critiques societal pressures and portrays characters representing traditional popular archetypes in negative, antagonistic roles.
Secondary
The film portrays the Catholic school institution and its social environment as rigid, judgmental, and unaccepting of outsiders, serving as a backdrop against which the protagonists feel marginalized and seek alternative spiritual empowerment. There is no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal.
