The film lacks any evidence of LGBTQ+ characters or narratives. As a traditional biographical drama, it appears to prioritize the ascetic or heteronormative social structures typical of its religious subject matter.

Bernadette serves as a central female protagonist who acts as a catalyst for change. While she possesses agency, the film may still reinforce traditional 19th-century depictions of femininity and sanctity.

Set in 1858 France, the film likely reflects the demographic homogeneity of the Pyrenees region. There is no indication of diverse casting or race-bent characters in this historical setting.

The story centers on religious phenomena and spiritual values. While it explores tension with the established order, the critique remains focused on faith rather than secular or anti-institutional themes.

Bernadette is described as a 'miserable little girl,' which may suggest physical or socio-economic vulnerability. However, no specific disability is explicitly identified as a central narrative driver.
