Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
While the film touches on themes like class struggle and monarchical critique, which inherently lean left, its primary focus on the personal story of Jeanne du Barry and a superficial engagement with political ideologies result in a neutral stance.
The movie features a cast primarily of white European characters, consistent with its historical setting, and does not include intentional race or gender swaps for traditional roles. Its narrative focuses on individual social mobility and gendered challenges within a class system, rather than offering a deep critique of systemic inequities or traditional identities.
Secondary
Jeanne du Barry, a historical French figure, was documented as white. The character is portrayed by Maïwenn, an actress of mixed Breton and Vietnamese descent, which constitutes a race swap for a historical figure.
The film portrays the Catholic clergy and establishment as holding contempt and disdain for Jeanne, reflecting the Church's historical social and moral authority used to judge and ostracize her. This frames the religious institutions and their adherents as part of the oppressive forces in Jeanne's life, without significant counterbalancing positive portrayals.
Jeanne du Barry is a historical drama centered on 18th-century French court life and the relationship between Jeanne Bécu and King Louis XV. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on social climbing, court politics, and the protagonist's personal struggles.
Based on available information, 'Jeanne du Barry' (2023) does not appear to feature identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative centers on the historical relationship between Jeanne du Barry and King Louis XV, with no reported depiction of the transsexual community.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film portrays all historical characters, including Jeanne du Barry and King Louis XV, with their historically accurate genders. No characters' on-screen gender differs from their established historical record or source material.
