Tous Cobayes? functions as a genre-specific exploration of adolescent social dynamics within the French school system. It utilizes a framework of social experimentation to examine the tension between student ability to act and institutional authority. While the film provides a window into teenage rebellion and the deconstruction of school hierarchies, it lacks multi-layered complexity. Adhering to traditional European teen comedy clichés, it prioritizes situational humor over systemic critique. Ultimately, the film offers a lighthearted look at social experimentation rather than a deep dive into identity politics. It lacks the intentionality in casting and character development needed for a high diversity rating.
