The Price of Everything

The film does not focus on LGBTQ+ identities or non-cisgender narratives. Instead, it emphasizes the professional workings of the art market rather than exploring sexual orientation or gender identity.

Women are shown in influential roles as curators, collectors, and artists. They are depicted as intellectual and economic leaders within the high-stakes industry, avoiding traditional submissive stereotypes.

The documentary includes a globalized cast, featuring artists like Njideka Akunyili Crosby, to highlight the ability to act of artists of color. This challenges historical homogeneity by showcasing diverse voices.

The film offers a progressive critique of capitalism by portraying the art market as a speculative financial engine. It examines how value is constructed through a postmodern, subjective perspective.

Disability is not a central narrative driver or specific focus. The film focuses on the socioeconomic elite, leaving neurodivergence and physical disability largely unaddressed.
