The film's diversity profile is marked by a tension between historical accuracy and progressive themes. While it lacks representation for LGBTQ+ individuals and people with disabilities, it successfully challenges gender stereotypes by centering a woman in a high-stakes political drama. Its primary strength lies in its cultural critique, offering a sophisticated deconstruction of state authority and institutional corruption. However, the film remains confined to the demographic constraints of its 1865 setting, limiting its racial diversity and non-white ability to act.
