Category Breakdown

Does Poker have LGBTQ+ representation?

Minimal

The film does not include any characters with non-binary gender identities. There is no critique of the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender.

How does Poker portray gender?

Fair

The film features a group of five strangers, which could allow for gender diversity. However, it does not show any challenges to traditional gender roles or give specific attention to gendered experiences.

How racially and ethnically diverse is Poker?

Fair

A poker game can bring together a diverse group of people, but the film does not confirm a racially diverse cast. Specific racial dynamics are not clearly shown.
