Diversity: Moderate
Confidence: High

The movie features a predominantly white cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. While it delves into themes of identity and societal expectations, including homophobia, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities as a central DEI theme, focusing instead on psychological tension and individual character dynamics.

Secondary

LGBTQ: Negative
Confidence: High

It depicts the painful suppression of queer identity and the resulting trauma without offering any affirming or positive counterbalance, highlighting unrelieved misery and punitive outcomes.

Trans: N/A
Confidence: High
