Leans Left
Primary
The film offers a scathing, satirical critique of the wealthy elite, consumerism, and the commodification of art, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values regarding class and economic justice.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, but its casting choices do not appear to involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative critiques elitism and consumerism, with negative portrayals tied to character behavior and class rather than specific traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features a minor character, Soren, whose queer identity is briefly mentioned as part of his personal background. This detail is incidental to the plot and his character's arc, neither uplifting nor denigrating his identity. The portrayal is neutral, as it avoids strong positive or negative arcs related to LGBTQ+ themes.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Menu is an original film with characters created specifically for this story. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' genders could be canonically established and then altered.
The Menu is an original film with no prior source material, historical figures, or previous adaptations. All characters were created for this specific movie, thus precluding any race swaps.
