The film puts a strong emphasis on gender and labor rights, framing everything through the lens of a modern equality narrative. Character motivations are heavily tied to their identity, and some secondary roles feel one-dimensional as a result. Storytelling often takes a back seat to the message, making the plot at times predictable.

Traditional masculinity, management, and family structures are regularly portrayed as either obstacles or outdated. The film elevates its female protagonists while sidelining more traditional perspectives, sometimes mocking opposing views in the name of progress. Male characters are generally unsympathetic, while the female leads border on heroic perfection.

There’s little room for counter-narratives or disagreement. Those opposing the strikers are depicted as either out-of-touch, bigoted, or simply villainous, so viewers aren’t offered a nuanced view of the era’s complex issues. Alternative perspectives largely exist only to be defeated by the protagonists’ moral clarity.
