As a concert film, its primary function is to document a musical performance and capture the live experience. The narrative is driven by the setlist and the energy of the performance rather than exploring identity or social hierarchies. Since the content centers on a musical event, traditional measures of character's ability to drive the story and interpersonal dialogue are not relevant. The film lacks the narrative complexity needed to address characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity or the deconstruction of social norms. The low score reflects a lack of intentionality regarding progressive social themes. The main goal is to archive a musical event rather than explore systemic power dynamics.
