Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central focus on universal themes of family dynamics, grief, and acceptance in a blended family context, resolved through personal empathy and communication, positions it as apolitical.
The film employs traditional casting without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative focuses on personal and family dynamics, and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes.
Secondary

The narrative aligns with the dignity of these themes, particularly in how characters navigate loss and family bonds.
