The film lacks explicit LGBTQ+ narratives or romantic pairings. It focuses on the existential struggles of the collective rather than individual sexual orientation.

Gender hierarchies are obscured by a fragmented, non-linear structure. The film avoids reinforcing traditional masculine leadership or submissive femininity through its focus on absurd, repetitive tasks.

The film does not explicitly center diverse ethnic backgrounds. However, it challenges visual hegemony by utilizing a non-traditional cast that disrupts the standard Hollywood protagonist model.

The work deconstructs Western institutions by presenting a world devoid of religious morality or capitalist productivity. It critiques systemic institutional control through the portrayal of an oppressive asylum.

Casting actors with dwarfism avoids the tropes of pity or inspiration porn. The performers possess a raw agency that exists independently of the able-bodied gaze.
