Why the scores diverge

Saint Maud highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into moral and religious messaging, reflecting Maud's intense spiritual journey, which can feel heavy-handed at times.
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.
Saint Maud: Characters serve clear narrative roles but some feel shaped by religious symbolism and psychological archetypes more than organic development.
