To Be a Rose is a character-driven drama that delves into the lasting psychological impact of sexual violence. The narrative employs a non-linear structure to follow a female protagonist's journey through memory and trauma. While the film tackles serious issues such as bodily autonomy, it lacks complexity in addressing multiple aspects of identity. The focus remains on an individual experience rather than broader social critiques. Ultimately, the film operates as a traditional exploration of trauma. It lacks diverse casting and challenges to social hierarchies, which are necessary for a higher progressive representation score.
