Why the scores diverge

Carrie highlight: The dialogue often leans into moralizing about bullying and religious oppression, which can feel more like messaging than natural character interaction.
Carrie: Some characters, particularly the religious mother and bullied protagonist, feel shaped to symbolize ideological conflicts rather than fully rounded 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.
