I think we've just reached the point where character faces are so advanced that they ALMOST look real so our brain hyperfixates on the tiniest imperfections instead of viewing them as a stylized recreation.

That's the uncanny valley for you.

Making it stylized (see GTAVI, for instance) helps you escape that instead of exacerbating the problem, though, since it tends to occur when the aim is photorealism but the lighting/facial muscles are bad.

I wouldn't say that the lighting or animation here is bad, it's just that the human brain is incredibly hard to fool.
