The film moves away from traditional patriarchal structures, focusing on the ability to act of a female protagonist. While the movie excels in presenting a matriarchal narrative, it does not provide specific demographic data regarding race or sexual orientation. This leaves other identity markers unexplored, focusing primarily on gendered storytelling.
