"Catfight" largely centers on two female leads with the clear intention of inverting traditional gender roles, almost to the point of self-parody. The focus on their identities can sometimes overshadow organic character development or nuanced storytelling, leaning into identity-driven conflict rather than deeper exploration of character motivations.

The movie tends to satirize or blatantly mock traditional concepts of masculinity, violence, and social mobility. It portrays family and ambition through a rather cynical, nihilistic lens, which could be viewed as undermining more traditional cultural values.

Alternative worldviews receive little sincere attention; instead, the film pushes its satirical, nihilistic take on success, gender, and privilege, at times painting more traditional characters as one-dimensional or punchlines.
