New Showbiz Analysis

Some is a mid-2000s science fiction horror thriller that lacks clear evidence of intentional diverse storytelling. The narrative focuses on a group of doctors investigating the human brain and the line between dreams and reality. While the cast includes notable actors like Goya Toledo, the film’s demographic makeup appears culturally specific to the Iberian Peninsula. There is a lack of information regarding the presence of diverse identities or the subversion of traditional social hierarchies. Ultimately, the film appears to follow standard genre clichés without providing clear evidence of diverse representation or nuanced character arcs.
