Average Rating

The film uses a non-Western setting to provide a framework for diversifying historical narratives. By focusing on an Egyptian archaeological dig, it avoids a purely Eurocentric perspective. However, the work lacks documented evidence of intentional progressive representation. The narrative appears to function as a traditional period-piece comedy without confirmed multi-layered character arcs. Ultimately, while the setting offers structural opportunities for inclusion, the absence of specific character details prevents a higher diversity rating.
