Coastlines is a character-driven crime drama that emphasizes psychological complexity over broad demographic representation. The film stands out by breaking down social hierarchies and traditional moral structures through its central interpersonal conflict. While the setting hints at potential ethnic diversity, the narrative focus remains on a localized triangle involving an ex-con, a sheriff, and his wife. This focus results in a more conventional ensemble that does not explicitly represent various racial or LGBTQ+ identities. Ultimately, the film's diversity lies in its thematic subversion of domestic and institutional stability rather than in its cast composition.
