Primary
The film explores universal themes of maternal love, justice, and truth through a highly personal and morally ambiguous narrative, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or offering an ideological solution to its central conflicts.
The movie features an ethnically homogeneous South Korean cast, which is typical for its setting and does not engage with the concept of recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative is a psychological drama centered on a mother's desperate actions, and it does not explicitly critique traditional identities or incorporate strong DEI themes.
Secondary
