The film contrasts its homogeneous demographic makeup with progressive narrative themes. Despite a lack of racial and LGBTQ+ diversity, it uses its isolated, white setting to emphasize a sense of confinement and isolation. By focusing on female rituals and power, the film challenges traditional patriarchal norms and offers a nuanced look at how communal belief systems can become oppressive. Overall, the film prioritizes a deep exploration of its thematic ideas over broad demographic representation.
