Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative champions female empowerment and challenges patriarchal norms by depicting women successfully taking over and excelling in a traditionally male-dominated, violent criminal enterprise, aligning with progressive values of agency and breaking gender barriers.
The film features an explicit race-swap of a traditionally white character with a Black actress. Its narrative strongly critiques traditional male power structures, portraying male characters negatively as the female protagonists rise to power in a male-dominated criminal world.
Secondary
The film "The Kitchen" is an adaptation of a comic book series. The character Ruby O'Carroll, depicted as white in the original comic, is portrayed by a Black actress in the movie adaptation, which constitutes a race swap.

The film 'The Kitchen' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on crime, gender roles, and power dynamics within a specific cultural and historical context, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The film depicts three women taking over a crime syndicate, establishing their power through strategic decisions, intimidation, and the use of firearms. There are no scenes where a female character is shown to be victorious in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
