| Genre | Drama |
| Language | Moderate impact and fairly frequent used against people in a demeaning manner. |
| Nudity | None |
| Sex | None (sic) |
| Violence | None |
| Prejudice | Mild impact and thematic gender prejudice in the context of this biographical feature but clearly disapproved of. |
| Blasphemy | None |
| Drug abuse | None (sic) |
| Comments | Complex themes that deal with fighting for equality, revolutionary persevering through obstacles, hope for the better days, spending life with the one you love, being a supportive husband which helps mitigate the negative themes for discrimination, intellectual property. The theme of gender based prejudice might be confusing and disturbing to viewers younger than 13 years. |

| 24.com Leandra Engelbrecht In terms of biopics the film ticks all the boxes - it has drama, suspense and a kick ass court scene. | 15 |  |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy While it certainly doesn’t begin to cover the entirety of the woman’s life and career, it does portray the beginning of that and hints at what’s to come. | 12 |  |
