God Told Me To

The film does not include any non-straight or non-cisgender identities. It follows the traditional social structures of its 1970s urban setting without intentionally featuring queer characters.

The male protagonist plays a central role in driving the story. Female characters have little influence or intellectual parity compared to the male leads.

The casting reflects the typical urban landscape of 1970s New York. It avoids the homogeneity of studio-driven casts but does not challenge racial hierarchies through subversive casting.

The narrative challenges the idea of religion as a stabilizing force. Instead, it portrays religious fervor as a source of psychological instability and social breakdown.

The film explores neurodivergence and mental health crises through its antagonists. However, these portrayals rely on the common 'madness' cliché to drive the horror elements.
