Why the scores diverge

  • The Gentleman highlight: Dialogue primarily serves the gritty revenge plot with minimal ideological or moral lecturing.
  • The Gentleman: Characters feel organically integrated into the crime thriller narrative without obvious tokenism.
  • 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.
