Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The film's left-leaning rating is primarily driven by its central narrative of women seizing power and challenging patriarchal norms within a male-dominated criminal enterprise, portraying their rise as a necessary response to their abandonment and systemic neglect.
The film features an explicit race-swap of a traditionally white character with a Black actress. Its narrative strongly critiques traditional male power structures, portraying male characters negatively as the female protagonists rise to power in a male-dominated criminal world.
Secondary
The film "The Kitchen" is an adaptation of a comic book series. The character Ruby O'Carroll, depicted as white in the original comic, is portrayed by a Black actress in the movie adaptation, which constitutes a race swap.
The film 'The Kitchen' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers exclusively on the experiences of three women navigating the criminal underworld in 1970s New York, without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
The film 'The Kitchen' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on crime, gender roles, and power dynamics within a specific cultural and historical context, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The film depicts three women rising in organized crime, using intimidation, strategic planning, and firearms. While they are involved in violent acts and order hits, no female character is shown to defeat one or more male opponents in direct physical combat, such as hand-to-hand or melee weapon fights.
The film "The Kitchen" (2019) is an adaptation of a comic book series. The main protagonists and significant supporting characters retain their established genders from the source material, with no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
