Center
Primary
The film receives a Left-Leaning rating due to its dominant themes, which align with progressive values through a satirical critique of unchecked consumerism, corporate chemical use, and the societal objectification of women, despite an individualistic resolution.
The movie features a traditional cast without explicit diversity-driven recasting. Its narrative offers a satirical look at consumerism and gender roles, but it does not critically portray traditional identities or center explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film reimagines the central shrinking protagonist, who was canonically male in the original novel and 1957 film adaptation, as a female character.
The Incredible Shrinking Woman does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a woman's physical transformation and its impact on her life and family, with no elements related to queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features new characters, including the protagonist Pat Kramer, who is not a direct race-swapped version of a previously established character like Scott Carey from 'The Incredible Shrinking Man.' No characters canonically established as one race in prior material are portrayed as a different race.
