The film explores the personal and psychological struggles of motherhood, particularly postpartum depression and identity loss, without explicitly advocating for specific political solutions or systemic critiques. Its focus remains on the individual's internal journey and the family's adaptation.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast, focusing on the experiences of a white, middle-class family. Its narrative explores themes of motherhood and identity without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly incorporating DEI themes.
The film includes a brief, non-explicit kiss between Marlo (as Tully) and a woman, presented as a moment of past self-reclamation rather than a central exploration of LGBTQ+ identity. This depiction is incidental, neither affirming nor denigrating, and does not contribute significantly to the film's overall themes.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
