Pepito offers a culturally specific look at the friction between generational traditions and individual ability to act. By using a bilingual framework, the film promotes linguistic diversity and moves away from monolingual storytelling norms. The narrative strength lies in its nuanced depiction of maternal authority and the tension between tradition and autonomy. However, the film's scope is limited to specific domestic and religious themes, with no visible representation of LGBTQ+ identities or disabilities.
