The movie features a cast that aligns with traditional Hollywood casting practices of its era, without visible diversity or intentional re-casting of roles. Its narrative focuses on personal drama within a traditional societal framework, and does not engage with or critique traditional identities or DEI themes.
Secondary

The narrative frames the societal manifestation of these values as stifling and judgmental, without significant counterbalancing positive portrayals of the faith's virtues.
