Ava

The film does not prominently feature same-sex relationships or gender non-conformity. However, it explores themes of fluid perception that align with queer theories, even though it doesn't make LGBTQ+ identity central to the plot.

Ava, the main character, is a strong and resilient woman who defies the stereotype of a fragile female. Her intelligence and decisiveness play a key role in driving the story forward.

The story focuses closely on the relationship between a mother and daughter, presenting a fragmented family structure rather than a cohesive, diverse cast. It does not offer much evidence of varied racial or ethnic representation.

The film presents an anti-authoritarian perspective, where the protagonist's actions are driven by a desire for personal freedom. These actions challenge the conventional norms imposed by society.

The movie provides a nuanced look at impending blindness, avoiding the typical inspirational stories about overcoming disability. Instead, it portrays sensory loss as a significant change in how the protagonist interacts with her surroundings.
