Femme focuses heavily on identity, placing LGBTQ+ themes at the center, sometimes at the cost of nuanced character development or complex narrative. The characters' traits and arcs are often defined primarily by their sexuality and the dynamics this creates, sidelining broader personality traits or motivations. It feels like ideology takes priority over storytelling in several key moments.

The film intentionally subverts traditional masculinity and grapples with issues around violence, revenge, and trauma within a queer framework, often presenting traditional family and gender structures as sources of pain or repression. Some viewers will find its treatment of religion and morality highly progressive, to the point of undermining classic cultural values.

Dissenting viewpoints (particularly those in favor of conventional gender roles or traditional morality) are not given meaningful space or sympathetic portrayal. Instead, more traditional perspectives are generally linked to antagonism, with very little moral ambiguity, making the ideological outlook feel rather uniform throughout.
