The film highlights a contrast between demographic homogeneity and progressive thematic subversion. Despite its strong critique of Western institutions, it fails to include diverse racial, ethnic, or LGBTQ+ identities. The satire effectively dismantles the permanence of the monarchy by placing the royal family in a working-class environment. This challenges traditional power hierarchies and established social norms. Overall, the film's low score is due to a lack of characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity, even though it provides a strong critique of class and institutional authority.
