Why the scores diverge

Brazil highlight: The dialogue often carries a satirical and critical tone that highlights bureaucratic absurdity and societal control, which can feel message-driven rather than purely narrative.
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.
Brazil: Characters, while generally well-integrated, sometimes serve as exaggerated archetypes to symbolize institutional oppression and dehumanization rather than fully rounded individuals.
