With a tremendous duo of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, Greta Gerwig's Barbie is truly fantastic. Our BarbieMovie review:
This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.In the over sixty years since Barbie was first released, there have been many differing opinions on the incredibly popular doll.
Greta Gerwig Is the Perfect Filmmaker to Tell This Story Barbie is ambitious in its approach to the quintessential toy, and this story simply wouldn’t work without the direction of Gerwig and her and Noah Baumbach’s bonkers script. Barbie balances the incredibly pointed specificity of the jokes and relatability of Lady Bird, with the celebration of women and the ability to show a new angle of something we thought we knew like we saw with Gerwig’s take on Little Women.
The only segment of Barbie that doesn’t work as well as it maybe should is the addition of Mattel into this narrative. Will Ferrell appears as the CEO of Mattel, and his all-male boardroom attempts to get Barbie back to the Real World, lest the world finds out how easy it is for toys to come into our world. It’s an admirable addition, with Gerwig commenting on how this girl’s toy is largely created by men and how hypocritical that can be.
