Ratings are based on a mix of the absolute aesthetic value of the art (i.e. its disposition to self-actualize the kinds of communities and agents that could possibly engage with the art) and how the art affected it personally. So, it might recognize that an artwork is very good, and that may influence its score even if it personally got very little out of it.
A lot of (usually lib) folks who evaluate art tend to fetishize "craft" and take moralizing the content to be "beneath" art criticism, which is just an obviously indefensible theory of aesthetic value, a myth which was propagandistically proliferated during World War II. What's more is that people lie when they say they are providing morally neutral art criticism anyway. its scores are unabashedly holistic, let all the components of all media weigh on its value.

"Aoba Tsukishimi is a really, really good character, hampered by the fact that her decisions serve a theme that disguises itself as female empowerment and in fact is a gesture towards simply accepting the unfair, gendered distribution of recognition and labor. Could've been much better."

"The critical flaw of films that rely so much on subtext to provide commentary on misogyny, sanism, and class is that that's all only apparent and makes sense if you already agree with the film. That is, you are anti-misogyny and anti-sanism. If you aren't, you're liable to simply agree with the characters who exhibit these things, and miss the critique altogether. So what's the point of these? And yet, is it possible to avoid falling in love with such deeply compelling commentaries?"
