Why the scores diverge

  • Sliver highlight: Dialogue primarily serves the thriller plot with minimal ideological lecturing or message-driven exchanges.
  • 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.
