The film does not include any LGBTQ+ characters and focuses solely on traditional heterosexual relationships.

The story centers on a male-dominated medical hierarchy. While Eliza is a key figure, her role is often defined by the actions of male characters.

The cast is predominantly white and reflects the homogeneity of the 19th-century setting. There is no effort to include actors of diverse backgrounds.

The storyline questions institutional authority by blurring the lines between sanity and madness. Medical institutions are portrayed as places where power dynamics are constantly shifting.

The plot involves characters with neurodivergence and mental health issues. However, these conditions are used mainly to create suspense and plot twists, rather than to provide meaningful character development.
