Neither You Nor I is a culturally grounded comedy that finds its strength in its authentic Mexican setting. By focusing on the world of Lucha Libre, the film provides a meaningful platform for regional identity and non-Anglo-Saxon storytelling. However, the film adheres to traditional comedic structures. The focus remains heavily on masculine-coded themes of brotherhood and professional legacy, which limits its impact regarding gender and queer representation. Ultimately, the film serves as a localized character study. It succeeds in ethnic centering but lacks the depth needed to challenge established social hierarchies.
