In our view, "Marco" repeatedly foregrounds characters’ identities over actual personality or skill. Key roles are cast with diversity boxes in mind, which sometimes feels more like a checklist than organic storytelling. The plot momentum suffers, and tension is substituted by repeated emphasis on messaging. Character arcs can feel secondary to ideology.

The film appears to subvert traditional family dynamics and masculine virtues, often presenting them as outdated or even antagonistic. Religious and cultural references are rewritten through a contemporary ideological lens. Longstanding traditions are reinterpreted, which may frustrate viewers seeking authenticity.

Alternative views are either absent or ridiculed, with any classical or traditionally-minded characters painted as deeply flawed or one-dimensional. There’s little room for internal conflict or plurality – the moral compass is set firmly and exclusively towards modern progressive themes.
