Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central focus on individual neuroses, complex interpersonal relationships, and existential questions, rather than explicit political or societal issues, leads to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white cast without intentional race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative focuses on personal relationships and neuroses, characteristic of the director's style, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays characters with a culturally Jewish background, particularly David Dobel, with depth, nuance, and a sympathetic understanding of their intellectual anxieties and neuroses. The narrative uses this cultural identity as a source of character-driven humor and philosophical exploration, rather than presenting it as problematic or stereotypical in a negative sense.
