Wetlands operates as a typical crime drama that relies on conventional storytelling formulas. While it introduces diversity through its lead casting, it does not aim to challenge societal norms. The film's narrative structure remains largely traditional. Ultimately, the film does not significantly engage with LGBTQ+ themes or neurodivergent representation. It functions primarily as a character-driven thriller rather than a vehicle for progressive social commentary.
