New Showbiz Analysis

Home Sweet Home uses a post-apocalyptic setting to explore the instability of the suburban home. It challenges the idea of permanence in Western social structures. However, the use of anthropomorphic objects creates a void of explicit representation. Traditional markers of race, gender, and LGBTQ+ identity are absent or impossible to verify. While the film successfully subverts cultural symbols of stability, it lacks a diverse range of characters.
