Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film is a conventional supernatural horror story centered on a vengeful spirit from Mexican folklore, with its core conflict and solution being apolitical. While featuring a Latinx family and a social worker protagonist, these elements serve as narrative context rather than vehicles for explicit political messaging or ideological promotion.
The movie incorporates a diverse supporting cast and cultural elements reflecting its Latin American legend, though it features a white protagonist. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on a supernatural horror plot rather than explicit social commentary.
Secondary

The Curse of La Llorona is a horror film that does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is solely centered on a family's struggle against a supernatural entity, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the story.
