The film centers heavily on sexuality and chosen family, occasionally letting identity themes overshadow more universal plot development and character growth. Characters are still decently layered, and the film doesn’t just flatten them into symbols. However, some viewers may feel that messaging about alternative lifestyles becomes a bit on-the-nose at the expense of story momentum.

Traditional family values are definitely sidelined, with alternative arrangements elevated at the film’s core, and themes around gender roles and sexuality take priority. Religion and traditional masculinity are mostly absent or portrayed as constraints, which some may see as undermining cultural heritage. Still, the film isn’t a total takedown; it’s more of a soft rewrite of what ‘family’ looks like.

The film primarily presents modern, progressive values as defaults, with dissenting or traditional perspectives mostly marginalized or brushed past. When alternatives are shown, they’re not given much depth. Pluralism takes a backseat to a kind of gentle ideological uniformity. There isn’t outright villainization, but there’s little room for traditional views to be fully fleshed out.
