Most Likely to Murder is a character study centered on social ambition and the deconstruction of high school hierarchies. It finds its strength in exploring women's ability to drive the story and the moral ambiguity of its protagonist's drive for status. However, the film lacks significant markers of multi-layered identity. The representation of race and LGBTQ+ identities is limited, appearing to follow traditional, homogeneous casting norms common in the psychological thriller genre. While the film avoids broad demographic diversity, it succeeds in challenging conventional archetypes of 'inspirational' students through its focus on complex, morally gray female characters.
