Why the scores diverge

Primate highlight: The dialogue primarily serves the thriller and horror narrative, with minimal ideological or message-driven content.
Primate: Characters appear to be developed around the story's survival stakes rather than as symbols or tokens for representation.
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.
