Center
Primary
The film's central conflict and resolution champion individual autonomy and the rejection of oppressive, fear-driven patriarchal authority and religious dogma, aligning its dominant themes with left-leaning values.
The movie features a predominantly white cast with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative is a traditional dark fantasy romance that does not critique or negatively frame traditional identities, nor does it center on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays the village's religious institutions and their leader, Father Auguste, as rigid, fear-driven, and prone to superstition, leading to persecution and violence against perceived threats. It critiques the dangers of religious fanaticism and the misapplication of faith, showing how it can foster mob mentality and injustice.
The film 'Red Riding Hood' does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its plot revolves around a heterosexual love triangle and a werewolf mystery, rendering the portrayal of LGBTQ+ identities as not applicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts the classic fairy tale without altering the established gender of any core characters like Red Riding Hood, the Grandmother, or the Wolf. New characters introduced do not constitute gender swaps of existing canon.
The film adapts the classic European fairy tale, and its main characters, including Valerie (Red Riding Hood), are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with the implicit racial depiction of the source material. No character established as one race is portrayed as a different race.
