Purificación is a thriller that gains its narrative power from undermining institutional trust. By placing a policewoman at the center of an investigation into gendered violence, the film shifts the focus away from traditional male-dominated structures. The story’s strength lies in its critique of religious authority, using a priest as a central suspect to question the sanctity of organized religion. However, the film lacks specific details regarding racial diversity or LGBTQ+ identities, keeping the focus primarily on the tension between systemic authority and individual investigation.
