The Good Son

There are no visible LGBTQ+ characters or representations of non-cisgender identities in the film. The story revolves around a traditional family structure.

The film explores themes of maternal instinct and the psychological pressures faced by women. The female lead plays a significant role in driving the story, but the narrative remains centered on traditional domestic roles.

The cast is predominantly white and comes from a middle-to-upper-class background. There is no representation of diverse ethnic backgrounds or racial blending.

The story emphasizes moral absolutes regarding good and evil, reinforcing the traditional family unit through a lens of dysfunction and conflict.

Psychological conditions and neurodivergence are used as plot devices to create horror elements. The depiction of psychopathy serves the 'evil child' cliché without offering much nuance or complexity.
