Center
Primary
Aftersun explores deeply personal themes of memory, grief, and the complex parent-child relationship, focusing on internal psychological states rather than external societal or political issues, resulting in a neutral bias rating.
The movie centers on a white father and daughter, with casting choices that do not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative offers an empathetic and intimate character study, without critiquing traditional identities or featuring explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film subtly portrays adult Sophie, the reflective narrator, as a lesbian in a loving relationship. Her queer identity is presented with dignity and normalcy, integrated into her complex character without being a source of conflict or prejudice, contributing to a validating and supportive overall portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Aftersun is an original film featuring characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' genders could have been established and subsequently altered.
