The film explores power dynamics and subverts social hierarchies. It excels in challenging traditional gender roles and power structures. However, it lacks evidence of racial diversity or disability inclusion, limiting its broader impact on characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity. While it effectively repurposes religious iconography, it primarily focuses on class and dominance.
