O Fim da Inocência is a character-driven drama that prioritizes the deconstruction of adolescent privilege over explicit identity politics. It succeeds in centering a female perspective, using Inês's self-sabotage to challenge conventional social roles. However, the film lacks depth in representing multiple aspects of identity. The narrative appears to focus on a homogeneous socioeconomic class, offering little evidence of racial or LGBTQ+ diversity. This creates a narrow lens that focuses more on class-based moral erosion than on a broad spectrum of human identities. Ultimately, the film functions as a study of social and moral decay within a specific European urban context, trading broad representation for a concentrated critique of modern, affluent environments.
