The film primarily explores class and gender subversion, focusing on internal British dynamics rather than broader diversity issues. It effectively portrays female empowerment and critiques industrial capitalism, providing a moderate level of social commentary. However, the score is reduced due to a lack of LGBTQ+ and racial diversity. The setting and cast reflect the historical homogeneity of post-WWI England, offering limited representation outside of the Anglo-Saxon experience. Disability is used as a central plot element but remains tied to traditional narratives of isolation.
