Overview
While staying at an isolated island resort, James and Em are enjoying a perfect vacation of pristine beaches, exceptional staff, and soaking up the sun. But guided by the seductive and mysterious Gabi, they venture outside the resort grounds and find themselves in a culture filled with violence, hedonism, and untold horror. A tragic accident leaves them facing a zero tolerance policy for crime: either you'll be executed, or, if you’re rich enough to afford it, you can watch yourself die instead.

Progressive
Primary
The film explicitly promotes a progressive, anti-capitalist, and anti-colonialist critique of wealth, privilege, and systemic impunity, aligning with a Marxist perspective.
The movie deeply engages with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion themes through its narrative, offering a strong critique of wealth, privilege, and systemic injustice. It highlights how unchecked power can lead to moral decay and perpetuate exclusionary structures, particularly through its exploration of postcolonial dynamics and the accountability of the affluent. While the analysis does not emphasize explicit DEI casting based on race or gender, the film's thematic focus strongly aligns with DEI principles.
Secondary
Infinity Pool explores sexual fluidity and non-traditional relationships as part of its broader themes of power, identity, and moral decay. While characters engage in complex sexual dynamics that could be interpreted as queer, the film does not explicitly focus on or represent LGBTQ+ identities. Its portrayal is abstract and symbolic, neither affirming nor denigrating the LGBTQ+ community directly.
The film uses Christian thematic parallels to explore sin, guilt, and the metaphysical decay of the self, implicitly affirming the significance of Christ's sacrifice by contrasting it with the characters' incomplete atonement.
The film depicts a culturally appropriative performance of 'Passover Jewish Voguing' but frames it as a critique of consumerist orientalism and cultural exploitation, positioning the audience to condemn the act of bigotry.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Infinity Pool is an original film without pre-existing source material or historical basis. All characters were created for this film, and their on-screen portrayal aligns with their initial conception, thus precluding any gender swaps.
The film is an original work, not an adaptation. Major characters are cast consistently with their implied Western origins. The local population of the fictional country Li Tolqa, while not ethnographically matching a typical tropical island, does not constitute a race swap as there is no prior established race for this original, fictional setting or its inhabitants.
