The film lacks discernible LGBTQ+ characters or non-cisnormative identities. The narrative focus remains centered on traditional domestic and social structures.

The film adheres to traditional gender hierarchies. It prioritizes the male protagonist's journey while female characters appear primarily within the domestic sphere.

Casting reflects the historical demographic of the setting, presenting a predominantly white, homogeneous community. It does not utilize diverse character archetypes to disrupt social norms.

The narrative critiques industrial capitalism by framing the mining industry as an exploitative entity. However, a lack of explicit secularism prevents a higher score.

There is no significant evidence of characters with disabilities being afforded agency. Physical labor is treated as socioeconomic hardship rather than a nuanced exploration of disability.
