Einstein and Eddington is a historical drama that focuses on intellectual history rather than broad demographic representation. It centers on the personal and societal conflicts faced by scientists during a critical period in history. The film lacks diverse LGBTQ+ and racial representation, staying true to the demographics of the Anglo-German academic community. However, it gains depth by criticizing nationalist hierarchies and promoting international cooperation. Ultimately, the film succeeds by challenging the 'great man' stereotype, replacing it with a vision of international, secular collaboration that counters the restrictive political climate of the time.
