Reagan highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into ideological framing, especially in scenes involving Cold War politics, but mostly serves to advance the historical drama.
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.
Reagan: Characters generally feel grounded, though some secondary roles appear shaped to represent Cold War archetypes rather than fully fleshed individuals.
