Bedlam is primarily a genre-focused thriller centered on a single psychological struggle. The narrative structure emphasizes George's personal crisis rather than a broader deconstruction of social hierarchies. While the film touches on the exclusion of 'unwanted' individuals, it lacks multi-layered complexity. The themes of mental instability offer a foundation for disability representation, but the film does not explore broader diversity.
