The film operates within a strictly heteronormative framework. It lacks queer subtext, diverse gender expressions, or any narratives that challenge traditional identity structures.

Narrative agency is heavily concentrated in the male protagonist, Alexandre Beck. While Margot serves as a catalyst, her role is largely passive or relegated to memory.

The cast is largely homogeneous, featuring white, middle-class French actors. There is a lack of ethnic diversity or characters of color with significant agency.

The story follows standard Western mystery-thriller conventions. It focuses on individual trauma and conspiracy rather than critiquing Western institutions or promoting specific cultural values.

Psychological trauma is used as a standard genre trope for the haunted protagonist. The film lacks nuanced explorations of neurodivergence or lived experiences of disability.
