   whether the relationship between the chief detective and her assistant was an important part

   We have no idea whether Marife would say this relationship was an important or unimportant part of the movie. Even believing, as he does, that this movie was a murder mystery, Marife still might have thought that the relationship between chief and assistant was an important part of the movie.

   whether the movie should be classified as a

   Why this is right

   Marife would say YES, since he is downgrading the movie for failing to do something that is expected of murder mysteries (thus, he was under the impression he was watching a murder mystery). Nguyen would say NO, since he is saying that "the murder is not a defining characteristic of the film", as it would be if it had been a murder mystery.

   Unsupported Both Too Strong: all mystery movies Marife is only talking about one criteria that he thinks a murder mystery must meet.

   Both Probably Agree Out of Scope: filmmaker's intention Nguyen didn't directly comment on whether the movie provided enough info to let viewers solve the murder, but since he didn't push back against that claim, he's probably implicitly accepting it. Both people seem to accept that there wasn't enough info for the viewers to solve the crime. Really, neither of them is specific enough about whether or not that was the filmmaker's intention.
