Center
Primary
The film primarily explores religious fanaticism and mental health decline through a psychological horror lens, focusing on individual delusion and isolation rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies or offering a politically charged solution.
The movie features a cast that includes some visible diversity in supporting roles, but does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. Its narrative focuses on psychological horror and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or make DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The film features a lesbian character whose identity is presented factually without judgment, though her life is marked by illness. The protagonist's intense attachments, potentially queer, are part of her descent into delusion and tragedy, but her sexuality is not the narrative's focus or cause of her issues. The overall portrayal is incidental, neither affirming nor denigrating LGBTQ+ themes.
The film portrays Christianity through the lens of Maud's extreme, isolated, and increasingly delusional faith. It depicts her piety as intertwined with mental illness, leading to self-harm, obsessive behavior, and a horrific climax, without offering a counterbalancing positive or nuanced portrayal of the religion within the narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Saint Maud is an original film with characters created specifically for its narrative. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose gender could have been altered.
Saint Maud is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical figures, or established canon from which character races could be swapped.
