The movie features a predominantly white cast, consistent with mainstream productions of its era, and does not include intentional race or gender swaps for traditional roles. Its narrative delves into the moral complexities and personal struggles within a powerful, affluent social circle, focusing on universal human failings rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
