Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's focus on individual psychological development, interpersonal relationships, and self-acceptance, rather than systemic critiques or ideological promotion, positions it as politically neutral.
The film features visible diversity through a prominent Asian supporting character, but its main cast largely reflects traditional demographics. The narrative explores universal coming-of-age themes without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI a central focus.
Secondary
The film features Erwin Kim, an openly gay character portrayed with dignity, complexity, and agency. His sexuality is normalized and never a source of conflict or ridicule, contributing to a supportive and validating depiction of an LGBTQ+ individual within the narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Edge of Seventeen is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There are no pre-existing source materials, historical figures, or legacy characters whose gender could have been altered.
