Anastasia: Once Upon a Time functions primarily as a genre-driven fantasy adventure. While the premise of a historical figure navigating a modern setting offers thematic complexity, the film lacks explicit identity-driven storylines. The narrative successfully critiques historical power structures by highlighting the Romanov family's struggle against revolutionary changes. However, the film falls short of a high diversity rating due to a lack of confirmed multi-layered casting. Without clear evidence of diverse demographic representation, the film remains a standard character-driven adventure.
