The film follows a singular, heteronormative historical path. There is no presence of non-cisnormative identities or critiques of heteronormativity within the main character arcs.

Joan of Arc disrupts medieval hierarchies by placing a female peasant at the peak of military and spiritual authority. Her agency drives the plot, challenging patriarchal norms through decisive leadership.

The setting reflects a homogeneous European landscape consistent with 15th-century France. The film remains tethered to period-specific ethnic constraints without utilizing diverse casting.

The narrative critiques the Catholic Church and monarchy as corrupt political entities. It contrasts the perceived purity of the peasantry against the oppressive machinations of the ruling nobility.

Joan’s divine visions touch on psychological and sensory experiences. However, these are framed as spiritual mysticism rather than a nuanced exploration of neurodivergence or mental health.
