Why the scores diverge

Gone Girl highlight: The dialogue primarily serves the suspenseful narrative and character development rather than overt ideological messaging.
Gone Girl: Characters are complex and motivated by psychological realism, not tokenistic or symbolic 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.
