Why the scores diverge

The Breakup highlight: The dialogue appears to serve the relationship drama without heavy-handed ideological lecturing or social messaging.
The Breakup: Characters seem motivated by personal growth and emotional conflict rather than serving as symbolic or tokenistic figures.
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.
