Leans Progressive
Primary
The film leans left by championing individual autonomy and self-discovery as the solution to the problem of rigid, patriarchal family traditions and expectations, aligning with progressive values of personal liberation.
The movie features visible diversity with its lead characters, an Italian-Australian boxer and an Aboriginal artist, whose relationship explores cultural differences. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on personal and relational drama rather than explicit critique.
Secondary

The narrative critiques the rigid, religiously-informed cultural expectations rather than affirming the faith itself. The father's strictness, rooted in his interpretation of faith and tradition, is depicted as a primary source of conflict and constraint for the son.
