Baby Blues

The film does not include any LGBTQ+ characters or non-cisgender identities. It focuses on a traditional, troubled family structure.

The story turns the mother into an antagonist, subverting traditional maternal roles. However, it reinforces masculine stereotypes by casting the eldest son as the protector.

The film seems to lack significant racial or ethnic diversity, depicting a homogeneous rural American family in Georgia.

The narrative questions the sanctity of the nuclear family by using postpartum depression to challenge the idea of the home as a safe haven.

The film portrays postpartum psychosis as a medical condition, but the character risks being stereotyped as dangerously mentally ill.
