The only good example I can think of where people actually explain themselves is Agents of SHIELD, which isn’t even a movie. It’s amazing. She doesn’t doubt his loyalty for a second and understands, given their situation, why he had to keep it a secret from her. You still get drama, but it’s drama from everyone being on the same dramatic page.
Entire plot lines hinging on people not explaining themselves which would take about 5 seconds.
The idiot plot.
Animes abuse this trope all the time. Plot only happens because MC don’t say what he wants/feels.
I think it’s more the miscommunication trope, which is kind of a sub-trope of the idiot plot
Great video by osp on the topic if you prefer to consume your information that way.

So… every season of Bridgerton?
Wait you think that’s unrealistic? Tell me you’re single without telling me you’re single
