The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or non-heteronormative identities. The romantic elements follow traditional structures, focusing on the protagonist's connection to a female counterpart.

Gender dynamics remain largely traditional throughout the story. Female characters primarily serve as emotional anchors or romantic interests rather than driving the supernatural conflict.

The film disrupts 1981 casting norms by centering a Black actor in a high-status lead role. Max Devlin is a wealthy, powerful real estate developer with significant agency.

The narrative critiques unbridled capitalism by framing material pursuit as spiritual bankruptcy. It uses religious iconography to promote moral evolution and human connection over material success.

There are no prominent depictions of physical or neurodivergent disabilities. No characters with disabilities serve as central narrative drivers in the story.
