The film critiques the grotesque excesses of the upper class and explores social hierarchy, but it does so with ideological ambiguity, lacking a clear progressive agenda or advocating for systemic change, and even containing conservative undertones.
The movie features primarily traditional casting with a noted lack of diverse racial representation. However, its narrative strongly critiques class disparities, the excesses of privilege, and traditional social hierarchies, exploring power dynamics and social mobility. These elements contribute to a light presence of DEI themes.
Saltburn depicts queer desire as a fluid, unlabeled, and central force driving obsession, manipulation, and destructive acts. While normalizing the presence of diverse sexualities, the narrative primarily uses queer themes for transgressive shock value and to advance a dark plot, rather than for affirming LGBTQ+ identities or relationships.
