In Fabric prioritizes sensory experience and cultural critique over explicit identity politics. It excels in subverting gendered expectations by centering women's ability to drive the story, but it remains limited in its demographic breadth. The film explores the psychological weight of objects, trading conventional demographic representation for a deep, atmospheric investigation into the spiritual fragmentation caused by consumerism.
