- Mother highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into moral and ideological framing, reflecting Mother Teresa's spiritual and social mission, which can feel somewhat message-driven rather than purely narrative.
- Mother: Characters are generally well-integrated but some secondary figures appear more as symbols of faith or social causes than fully fleshed individuals.
- Barbie: Several characters appear designed more to tick diversity boxes and represent political symbols than to serve the narrative organically, which disrupts character depth and coherence.
