Why the scores diverge

Frida highlight: The dialogue often leans into ideological framing, especially around feminist and postcolonial themes, which sometimes interrupts natural character interaction.
Frida: Characters occasionally feel shaped to symbolize cultural and political identities, particularly in how Frida's relationships and art are framed as revolutionary acts.
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.
