Primary
The film primarily focuses on apolitical themes of family, love, and authenticity, while critiquing generic human failings like greed and superficiality, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features visible diversity in its lead cast, with a prominent actor of Puerto Rican descent. However, the characters themselves are inherently unconventional, and the casting does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative celebrates individuality and non-conformity, contrasting the unique family with conventional society, but it does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
