Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative champions individual free will and the defiance of predetermined, oppressive traditions and prophecies, aligning with progressive values of self-determination and challenging established norms.
The movie includes visible diversity in its supporting cast, consistent with the source material, rather than through explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative offers a subtle critique of small-town conservatism, but it does not explicitly portray traditional identities negatively or center DEI themes.
Secondary

The narrative highlights the hypocrisy and destructive potential of this specific religious environment, offering no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal.
