Guru centers on Matt, a charismatic male life coach whose manipulation and downward spiral anchor the story. The narrative lens remains tightly fixed on his psychology and influence, leaving little room for diverse perspectives. The cast is overwhelmingly white and French-speaking, with Holt McCallany as the sole clearly identified non-French presence in a shallow role. Women appear but do not drive the plot or subvert traditional gender expectations. The film’s cultural critique targets the guru figure rather than broader systems like capitalism or religion. With no LGBTQ+ or disability representation and thin evidence overall, the diversity footprint is minimal.
