The central story does showcase quirky, offbeat characters, with some identity themes occasionally overshadowing personal motivations. The protagonist’s emotional journey leans into issues of self-discovery and identity that may feel shoehorned at times, but overall still serves the broader narrative. Forced representation isn't dominant, though there’s some focus on non-traditional dynamics.

Family is depicted as dysfunctional, and traditional roles are subverted, parents are oddball grifters, and the central relationship is a queer romance. There’s little respect for conventional family or moral structures. Masculinity, religion, and traditional frameworks are sidelined, often replaced by markedly unconventional dynamics.

Alternative worldviews are mostly absent or lampooned, with the film largely affirming individual expression and modern attitudes about sexuality and relationships. Traditional perspectives rarely get a fair shake and are presented as stultifying or harmful. Pluralism and internal debate aren’t major features, there’s a clear leaning toward new norms.
