In Other Words operates within the standard framework of the romantic comedy genre. While it moves away from purely Western settings by using a Mexican backdrop, the story remains anchored in traditional clichés. The film prioritizes individualistic plot progression and technological optimism, using its international setting to facilitate character movement rather than to challenge established social structures. Ultimately, the film provides moderate inclusion through its setting but lacks the narrative structure needed to subvert established social norms.
