Teruo Ishii's work often employs unconventional structures that defy mainstream cinema norms. 'Screwed' is a character-focused exploration of domestic and professional stagnation, highlighting the lives of those on the fringes of society. The film excels in portraying unconventional social structures and rejecting traditional success metrics. It shifts away from the rigid hierarchies of the nuclear family to examine more casual living situations. However, the film lacks multi-layered diversity. The narrative stays within a homogeneous cultural setting, offering limited racial and disability representation.

The narrative centers on the struggles of underrepresented individuals rather than capitalist achievements. It focuses on the unconventional lifestyles of unsuccessful artists, emphasizing flexible moral guidelines over strict institutional rules.
