Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative focuses on women seizing power and agency within a male-dominated criminal underworld, explicitly promoting themes of female empowerment and challenging patriarchal structures, which aligns with progressive values.
The film features an explicit race-swap of a traditionally white character with a Black actress. Its narrative strongly critiques traditional male power structures, portraying male characters negatively as the female protagonists rise to power in a male-dominated criminal world.
Secondary
The film "The Kitchen" is an adaptation of a comic book series. The character Ruby O'Carroll, depicted as white in the original comic, is portrayed by a Black actress in the movie adaptation, which constitutes a race swap.
The film portrays characters from a Catholic cultural background who engage in severe criminal activity and violence. While the religion is present in the community's backdrop, it largely fails to provide a moral compass or positive influence on the main characters' actions, highlighting a disconnect between their nominal faith and their violent lives.
The film 'The Kitchen' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers exclusively on the experiences of three women navigating the criminal underworld in 1970s New York, without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
The film focuses on three women who take over a criminal enterprise. Their rise to power involves strategic planning, intimidation, and ordering violence, often carried out by male enforcers or through the use of firearms. No female character is depicted winning a close-quarters physical fight against one or more male opponents.
The film "The Kitchen" (2019) is an adaptation of a comic book series. The main protagonists and significant supporting characters retain their established genders from the source material, with no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
