New Showbiz Analysis

They/Them uses horror to comment on social issues, particularly targeting conversion therapy. By centering queer characters, the film makes identity the core of its narrative tension. The film excels at deconstructing institutional power and subverting traditional gender hierarchies. It frames religious therapeutic structures as the primary antagonist, offering a critique of Western moral authority. While the thematic depth is strong, the film lacks specific information regarding racial diversity. Additionally, it touches on psychological trauma but does not explicitly depict physical disabilities or neurodivergence.
