For All Time succeeds in challenging traditional gender roles by centering the narrative on female scientists. By focusing on historical figures like Maria Mitchell, the film highlights women's intellectual contributions in a male-dominated field. However, the film remains confined to the demographic realities of its historical context. The absence of LGBTQ+ representation and racial diversity reflects the era's academic structures, limiting the social scope. Ultimately, the film offers a specialized character study. It prioritizes a focused exploration of gendered professional struggles within the scientific community over broader characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity.
