The film succeeds in centering women's ability to drive the story and providing a multi-ethnic depiction of modern youth. By focusing on Lennie's internal world, it avoids many common coming-of-age clichés. However, the representation remains somewhat limited in specific areas. The lack of overt LGBTQ+ identities and specific disability depictions prevents a higher score in those categories. Ultimately, the film offers a psychologically complex view of adolescence that favors emotional honesty over traditional, sanitized social structures.
