Good movie with a pretty basic idea: you have to live your own life and not be someone else for somebody else.

Greta and Noah delivered a self-aware text from the start. It's well written and sarcastic with moments of superficiality (on purpose), a lot of humor, innocence and also of course, drama. The film's reviews, despite being expository and often redundant, are not boring or overwhelming, on the contrary, they are made with a lightness and humor to the extent leaving the viewer entertained, light and at the same time reflective on the issues exposed. But I must say that the script exaggerates in some ways and some things have no explanation, but they are points that do not disturb the show.
Although the film has a lot of characters, only 3 have real narrative importance. Some supporting characters are interesting but there are a lot of characters left in the plot that would not be needed in the film, in addition some of them have bumbling level arcs. Among all, the highlights are Barbie and Ken. The change in personality, the maturation and the change in perception that both have with themselves and the world is remarkable and well constructed. Margot and Ryan managed to really be the characters and what we think of them.
Technically the film is magnificent. The worldbuilding of Barbieland in particular is perfect, no more and no less. The photography is exaggerated and artistic. The production design is sensational and deliberately plasticized and caricatured, matching the aura of that world. Another positive point are the costumes, which, like the production design, are colorful, extravagant and beautiful. The soundtrack is sensational and all the musical scenes are done with an absurd execution of choreography.
Barbie is a feminist film yes. But also necessary, funny, creative, smart and exciting, and who knows how to mock his own brand while questioning his place in the world and the world itself.… Expand

Wow, this movie was a love letter to cinema. From the Kubrick reference at the opening, to the soundstage being 100% real - no cgi for the sets. There were dance sequences like in the olden days (think Grease) and the costuming , wow the costuming. Greta Gerwig dug deep to make this masterpiece using all of her technical chops along the way. The casting director also nailed it, everyone was wonderful.

The acting was perfection, I loved seeing the variety of Barbie's on screen and there were so many jokes that would be appropriate for all audiences, this has to be a voluntary PG13 rating as there wasn't swearing or nudity. There was one beach fight amongst the Kens but that's not really violence compared to today's average films, no one was harmed nor any fake blood used.

I actually didn't like the ending at all, and I was quite annoyed that Rhea Perlman played the creator of Barbie but made two quips about the IRS getting her for tax evasion - something Ruth Handler never dealt with. Her problem was with the SEC after she had signed off on a positive Mattel earnings forecast when they knew they were in a down quarter - how's that so tough to explain?

Irregardless, I want to see this movie again. And again. And again...… Expand

I was expecting to like this movie a bit more than I did. I was a little worried about finding the preachiness annoying, but in fact it was just boring by the end. Had the politics of the film been interesting, that may have been better, butI was expecting to like this movie a bit more than I did. I was a little worried about finding the preachiness annoying, but in fact it was just boring by the end. Had the politics of the film been interesting, that may have been better, but it's just everyday milquetoast feminism. This problem is compounded by an occasional streak of sentimentality. I guess I wanted more of an edge, but of course the film has to be kid-friendly as well so it's understandable. I don't know if the film is aware that the "real" patriarchal world is just as artificial as the barbie world, and that this kinda defeats the point of the movie. Or maybe the artifice is part of the point? I couldn't tell. On a comedic level, it's brilliant. Ryan Gosling was as good as everyone says, but many characters also have their moments. Margot Robbie is practically perfect.

Music plays a big role in the film. I hate musicals, but I didn't mind most of the songs here so count that as a positive.

I could have done without the whole mother-daughter thing. I get that it's needed to move the plot (which is itself almost superfluous) along. I just didn't find the daughter character remotely interesting and the actress wasn't great.3… Expand

Part of the movie that isn’t brought up much isI thought Barbie was an ok movie, especially by recent standards. It was a whimsical, borderline funny movie that presented both femininity and masculinity in both toxic and healthy versions. Part of the movie that isn’t brought up much is that during the first few minutes, Barbie World, which is completely matriarchal, is shallow and plastic. Life in Barbie World is boring. Which is why after Ken brings the patriarchy from the real world almost everyone is on board. It’s different and fun. Then when Barbie returns, Barbie and a couple of others use deception and manipulation to win back power. Just like some aspects (some, not all) of the patriarchy, deception and manipulation are evil too. Then after Barbie finally sees Ken’s dilemma, instead of only focusing on herself, she supports him. It’s Barbie and its Ken. The message of the movie is not down with the patriarchy, nor is it anti matriarchy. The message of the movie is life is hard, with ups and downs and then you die, so we should support each other. Just like how some women see sexism everywhere or how some nonwhites see racism everywhere; I think the prevalence of anti-male propaganda in modern “entertainment” has led some people to see male bashing everywhere. I think this movie was balanced in its fault finding and the core message was to support each other.… Expand

Barbie, Greta Gerwig's live action depiction of the Barbie lore, stars Margot Robbie as "conventional" Barbie and Ryan Gosling as "conventional" Ken. I found the film interesting as it starts out in a fictitious Barbieland, where all theBarbie, Greta Gerwig's live action depiction of the Barbie lore, stars Margot Robbie as "conventional" Barbie and Ryan Gosling as "conventional" Ken. I found the film interesting as it starts out in a fictitious Barbieland, where all the different Barbie characters reside, and live perfect idyllic lives free from any stress or anxiety, well maybe with the exception of Ken who is a total simp, only happy when Barbie notices him. Barbie begins to have an existential crisis because it turns out her owner in the real world is not happy and this affects Barbie. She begins to have lingering thoughts of death, things in her playhouse quit working, and she begins to develop a little cellulite. She visits "weird" Barbie who is an expert on these dilemmas and is told she has to go to the real world to unite with her owner and make her happy again to prevent the crisis. From here the movie becomes kind of like a fish out of water adventure with Ken and Barbie in the real world. Ken learns about the patriarchy in the real world but can't take advantage of it because he has no real-world skills so he takes the patriarchy back to Barbieland. Barbie finds the teenage girl she thinks was playing with her, however, her owner actually turns out to be the teenage girl's mother. There is some good social commentary in these scenes in the real world on gender issues and consumerism; much of the criticism of consumerism promulgated by Barbie was delivered by the teenage girl and is meant to be overly harsh and rabidly left-wing. Will Ferrel plays the CEO of Nuttel who is in pursuit of Barbie to put her back in her box. It's a typical Will Ferrel performance, though his dialogue wasn't that great. In Barbieland, conventional Ken takes over and makes it an actual patriarchy with the Barbies being subservient to the Kens and brainwashed into being satisfied with their downgrade. Barbie ends up going back to Barbieland to rescue it from Ken and restore the matriarchy alongside the human woman and her teenage daughter. In the end, Ken learns to be satisfied with who he truly is and becomes less dependent on Barbie. The Kens in general are given marginally more influence in Barbieland, though the movie makes a facetious note that they would only end up getting as much power as what women have in the real world. Stereotypical Barbie ends up going back to the real world and becomes a real woman. Overall, the movie is very silly for the most part until the end when it becomes a little sappy. It's very entertaining though and always keeps your attention. Was it preachy? Maybe a little, after all I'd heard about the movie I was expecting it to be, but really the social commentary is part of what made the movie interesting.… Expand

A film that should be lauded for its ambition, creativity, and virtuous commentary. The acting is fantastic and Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling feel like the only actors that could play Barbie and Ken and they more than excel at it. It feels as though Mattel partnered with Greta Gerwig and the movies production team to help make themselves the butt of the joke and also help make one of the most powerful (if not most powerful) statement for women and young girls in our modern world. The movie suffers at times with story and structure but the dialogue, acting and visual design are top notch with so much comedic poignancy to keep you entertained throughout.

Going into the movie I kind of already knew what would happen since I had seen some reviews with spoilers beforehand (no worries, this review will have no spoilers) but I wanted to watch it myself before making a clear judgement. I had high hopes for the movie and it didn’t fail to deliver. The set design, costume design and music production for the movie was spectacular, and it made the dance numbers throughout the movie very enjoyable. Barbie was very funny and relatable, her character development was very well done and you could really sympathize with her struggles. Ken was also very funny and brought the most laughs out of me during the film, though he did also have some very well done character development. The other main characters such as the other Barbies, the mother and the daughter, and even Allan were a delight to see on screen, their performances were exceptionally well done. If you’ve ever played with Barbies during your childhood or if you just want to enjoy a well made and well produced movie, I highly recommend you watch this one. And if you’re on the fence about watching it, I say you should go for it, it’s a fun and entertaining experience and I think everyone should have the opportunity to see such a good movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A fine movie which serves as an introduction to various political concepts from a feminine lens. The physical sets and costumes/hair/makeup deserve praise for how excellently designed and constructed they are. They give the movie a more nostaglic and immersive vibe, and are a welcome breath of fresh air in this time of over-utilised CGI. The music was good and usually well placed, and the dance performances were elaborate and energetic.

Unfortunately, the heavy involvement of Mattel holds this movie back from completely committing to its own moral messages. Details such as them stealing the idea of Barbie from a German adult doll and buying the business out to prevent them from suing and the ongoing exploitation of workers in their overseas factories (the majority of which are women and children) are conveniently glossed over in favour of romanticising the multibillion dollar corporation as simply the creators behind Barbie. Depicting the higher-ups at Mattel as bumbling himbos whose biggest crime is a few hamfisted, ignorant remarks undermines the dangerous nuances of more covert forms of bigotry. The overall message that women (or any marginalised group) can gain equality just by voicing their suffering in a slightly more assertive manner is sadly a tried-and-failed tactic in the real world - respectability politics is futile victim-blaming because the people in power aren't looking to change their minds - they will keep moving the goalposts until a direct threat to their money and/or power is posed, to which they will do the bare minimum to mitigate it while waiting to creep the status quo back in. The teenaged Sasha, while well played by Ariana Greenblatt, felt like an unnecessary edition to the movie. Her main plot purpose is to be a red herring for the source of Barbie's intrusive thoughts and cellulite, and after the reveal that it was actually her mother Gloria behind this her relevance and transformative contribution to the story is minimal. Almost serving as a caricature of progressive Gen Z'ers, most of Sasha's criticisms of Barbie in her most significant scene are valid - the Barbie BRAND is attributed to poor self-esteem for women, girls and fem people, and is entirely built around excessive and obsessive consumerism at the expense of its workers and the environment. The fundamental problem is that she blames Barbie herself for these issues, narratively and thematically shifting the blame away from Mattel as a corporation (the nonsensical depiction of the higher-ups also serves to deflect accountability on their part) and dismissing her jaded criticism as a character flaw that must be overcome by the end of the movie. The criticisms themselves remain unaddressed, because that would require Mattel taking accountability and acknowledging their less palatable faults (especially current/ongoing ones), and a product endorsed by them isn't going to call them out too hard for obvious reasons.

I understand that she was most likely made to appeal to a younger audience, but I believe that her story should have been put into Gloria's instead - a girl who had fun playing with Barbie dolls as a kid, grew jaded as a teen after learning of all the negative effects of the brand, and then went on to work for Mattel to try and implement real change while indulging in Barbie as a form of nostalgic escapism as an adult. There was a lot of potential for a well-rounded Gloria who was more than an exceptionalist that repeats the protests of countless women before her yet is the one that makes systemic change happen. Incorporating Sasha's cynicism into Gloria would've made her feminism more realistic and practical in my opinion. In saying that, the toxic masculinity plotline was done surprisingly well. Despite rushing Ken's radicalisation, which could have had a bit more time and nuance dedicated to it, the fallout and resolution made up for it (that ballad was really fun and expressive). Despite what some vocal commentators claim, this movie is FAR from anti-men; in my opinion, some of the best parts of the movie are of the men learning to embrace themselves and each other without forcing their entire identities to revolve around anger, domination and co-dependence on women. It shows that toxic traits is a LEARNED concept not an inherent part of manhood/masculinity, and shows that men are likely to be happier when they're not being subjected to such impossible expectations. Overall, it's a good movie for those who are new to certain progressive political discussions, but for those further along the leftist spectrum it probably won't offer much and might in fact be too diluted or centrist for your liking. Regardless, it's a step in the right direction for mainstream media, and the over-the-top shenanigans and fun atmosphere alone make this movie worth watching at least once.… Expand

What is surprising was that they brought a movie about toys to a successful conclusion; with intelligent humor and a successful message of self-search and self-acceptance, and a collection of cultural winks. One of the great surprises of this summer.

The film is not what it might seem at first glance. The film exaggerates the problems of the modern world, which helps to understand the true essence of all these problems. Despite its pink wrapper, this movie definitely deserves your attention.

There were a couple of long monologues that took me out of the movie for a moment, but it had me laughing from start to finish. I think one of the most powerful scenes was when Ken first gets to the real world and sees everything covered in men, statues, history, even money. It's presented as a funny moment, but it had a very powerful impact. It's a positive for Ken, but it was a very sad scene to realize how left out women have been. And to extrapolate from that, everyone who wasn't a rich white man. Makes you wonder what we could have accomplished without wasting so many minds.… Expand

I think it’s this in-between space of feeling both fulfilled and not fulfilled by viewing it that makes interesting conversation and makes it art.

Bottom line: The film both said a lot and didn’t. It’s surface level but also raising some uncomfortable questions. Oh and it’s sparkly, it can be entertaining and vibrant, and funny too. Loved the Ken dancing scene! Made me want to give ken “more love”, specifically, like the space to be “ken”. Is this maybe a reflection of white corporate feminism and it’s limitations?… Expand

I can say that THIS is the BEST Barbie Movie ever made!!!

Margot was phenomenal as Barbie and Ryan was fantastic & surprisingly funny as Ken! These two performances are a huge W for me!!!

I laughed & cried throughout the film and after I left the theater it left an emotional but happy impact on me! And it's all thanks to Greta Gerwig's direction and writing. This feels like Toy Story 3 but it's made for teens & adults centered on Barbie with a lot of love, humor, care, feeling, and emotion put into it.

With a female director directing Barbie, Greta had put a lot of love and feeling into a movie centered on a certain doll "Barbie"

And now with Greta directing the Netflix Chronicles of Narnia Reboot. I now believe in her! I think she's gonna do great in doing a Chronicles of Narnia reboot! And if James Gunn hires her to direct DCU's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, I'll always be proud and believe in her.

And after I watched Barbie... Greta Gerwig is now my favorite female director!!!… Expand

Its a funny, quirky and emotional masterpiece and if you disagree you are most likely stuck in the nostalgia of the old Barbie animated movies (which were based on stories wriiten by old white men) or have so many internalised prejudices that you mentally cannot handle the thought of a women being something other than an object.

You could tell who was going to watch Barbie based on what they were wearing. Inside the screen, it felt comfortable and our audience was laughing together.

The movie itself takes a whimsical approach to deconstructing patriarchal issues and idealising a world run by women. It was only at one point towards the resolve of the movie that this narrative was lost on me, but it picked right back up afterwards.

It was an interesting film, def not a must see (more like a "oh I remember hearing about this" & then deciding to watch it on Netflix while eating ice cream 6mo from now). The basic message of the movie is that social constructs like matriarchy & patriarchy make it difficult for us to be ourselves & we should question those constructs so we can figure out who we are & finally become/be our real selves. Nothing new, it's an age-old message that is always great to circle back to & reflect on - and delivered with humor & intelligence & great acting/directing. I am a die-hard Ryan Gosling fan & I love Greta&Noah which is why I went to see this film even tho I was terribly conflicted because it's called Barbie & about Barbie. It's worth watching but again no need to rush to the theater just watch it at home when you've got nothing else to do.… Expand

This movie was fun and paid great homage to both those who love Barbie and those who don't. My husband - who could care less about Barbie and had to be dragged to the theater - left talking about how much he enjoyed the movie and even said he would go see it again in theaters. We were laughing so much. The humor was perfect for adults but without being inappropriate for kids. Even the songs were so funny! The first song is just hilarious if you listen to the lyrics. The costumes were amazing. The dance scenes were fun. The Ken storyline was HILARIOUS. Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu were just fantastic and Michael Cera as Allan was so good!!

I've seen people online mad that they were making fun of the patriarchy and I feel like if you feel attacked by the movie, you're probably part of the problem. My husband had no problem with the lighthearted jests they made towards men, even saying he felt like he was guilty of some of them (like trying to always help me with sports).

The theme was pro-women without being too overly feminist. It was about appreciating the beauty with being a woman, ALL aspects of being a woman including the beauty of aging, finding our power, and even learning that it's okay to be an average woman (you don't have to be Presidents or physicists to be a powerful woman). I think it's such an important message that leaves you feeling proud to be a woman.

Overall, this movie is so fun and perfect for summer. Go watch it again and again for some fun.… Expand

Topnotch, flawless Some other human characters were underdeveloped compared to Barbie and Ken, but that was expected am excited to watch it again soon. The pacing is not perfect and its huge potential is not fully matched Cinematography is great here, Set pieces are outstanding and the Soundtrack is a masterpiece.

want to take a minute to take about Greta Gerwig she is so clever and talented hope this movie will push her to direct big blockbuster movies that she deserves I'm not someone who often watches comedies, so they don't make me laugh much, but if they all became as funny as Barbie, I might give it another go this film is a good critic of patriarchal rule, without overdoing it. It questions gender roles in a fluid way, and brings existential questions to the fore The Barbie movie had a very easy going start with parties, colors, and making fun of stereotypes. It's all very musical-like untill Barbie asks the question about dying which can be seen in trailer

This film is colorful and 'alive', making it a joy to view upon. The set pieces, especially in Barbieland, are brilliant- and it truly makes me want to know if they actually built out a real-life Barbieland set Going into Barbie with having little to no expectations at all can be such a delight.It was beautiful and brilliant, didn't expect it's gonna be too good. Greta tells the -ve side of the real world beautifully wrapped in humor and childhood nostalgia for manyMargot is the STAR, she's unreal man, whatever role she does it seems she's born for that

Margot Robbie as Barbie is best because even her name rhymes with barbie ;) saw oppenheimer yesterday and it was very slow and borring dont watch it all those five star are paid scam dont fall Ryan was brilliant and so was Will Ferrel, both did an outstanding job In the end, Barbie proves to be much more than just a marketing gimmick, showcasing a refreshing take on a beloved cultural icon and making it a must-see for anyone seeking a smart, humorous, and visually arresting cinematic adventure Barbie indeed subverted expectations and stereotypes. Overall, the movie was way more than I thought it would be and I definitely recommend it. The humor isn't hilarious but I chuckled when jokes were relatable. It's not made for everyone but try and keep a clear mind while watching it! The casting choice were sublime and each Barbie, Ken and even Alan nailed there performances The few cameos were also pretty fun, and with a lovely touch at moments

has it ups and downs but it was mostly entertaining and i think that was it's main goal and they succeeded in that If you are a Barbie fan you'll definitely have a blast This film is definitely not for kids, as it focuses on problems and dilemmas adults have to deal with. The writing isn't perfect by any means, but overall Barbie is a pretty fun adventure

And...it works surprisingly well for adults - not so much for kids

One time watch for visuals and light hearted story :)… Expand

Barbie movie series seamlessly blends charming storytelling, beautiful animation, and an empowering message that will warm the hearts of fans old and new.
Its ability to transcend the boundaries of imagination while remaining relevant and relatable.

The animation style deserves special commendation, as it showcases the industry's continued advancement in creating vibrant and detailed visuals.

Moreover, the story itself is both heartwarming and empowering. Barbie, as always, leads by example, showcasing her kindness, bravery, and determination.

While the film beautifully balances humor and adventure, there are moments where the plot feels slightly predictable. However, this doesn't significantly detract from the film's overall appeal, as the strong messages and captivating visuals overshadow any minor shortcomings.

In conclusion, the 2023 Barbie movie is a must-watch for all Barbie enthusiasts and those seeking an entertaining and inspiring animated adventure. With its stunning animation, well-crafted storytelling, and positive values, this film proves why Barbie continues to be an iconic and beloved character.… Expand

Growing up I was told by aged 14 to throw away my barbie because I was "too old" to keep them anymore. Ripping away a part of my adolescence as I became an older teenager. Watching this film rekindled and healed my inner teenager, knowing the part of myself and the part of themselves so many girls threw away to become adults. Abandoning childhood naivety as they realised the effects of the patriarchy. Barbie is so much more than a doll, she taught so many little girls they could be anything they wanted. I had so many barbies as a little girl and I loved them all. They still remain a pleasant memory of my bygone adolescence. This film brought so many girls together to just bond over what it means to be a woman. To nurture our inner children.… Expand

There is nothing subtle in the Barbieland. Barbie unabashedly and advertently attempts to tell the story. It is a satire to highlight the contrast between the real and the fake world which a lot of dumb people are shrugging off saying it is complaining and preaching. It is a perfect ending to both Barbie and Ken's story. I wished Allen got his too. overlooking Allen is my only issue with this movie.
The casting was perfect. Especially Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling shine through and through. Hope it opens new doors for Greta. Can't wait to see more from her.… Expand

I went into theThis is genuinely an eye opening experience of a film. The first half of the movie genuinely made me laugh on multiple occasions, something that I find very rare in cinema experiences, even from some of my favourite movies. I went into the film thinking that it would be a little corny and maybe even a hard watch, but it exceeded all of my expectations. In all categories I found it exceptional, it was serious in some sections, but lighthearted and funny in others, the different emotions were spread perfectly throughout the film, it never felt jarring or forced. The set and character design was also perfectly executed, with every choice feeling deliberate and only feeling out of place when intended by the film makers. The characters conveyed the message of the movie subtly and beautifully, giving each character a distinct style.

For the overall message of the film, it is beautifully conveyed and as such it is powerful. This movie was one of the most relatable and empowering movies I have seen. Overall this was a beautifully executed film, if you think it might be too silly or poorly executed, watch it and see for yourself, I highly recommend it.

I know this review may sound like a joke, but I am dead serious, this is a wondrous movie and you should watch it if you have even the slightest interest in seeing it.… Expand

This film delves into Barbisplanation as to why Barbie, this so specific figurine has the ideal imaginationsBig summer funtime must see!
Pink bubbles of the compassion, seriousness, and joy. Rejoice, a spectacular spectacle masterwork.

This film delves into Barbisplanation as to why Barbie, this so specific figurine has the ideal imaginations of women across every spectrum, every country is front and center. The complete humanitarian nature and playfulness is exemplified through this kitch comedy drama film.
It's not so much what Barbie looks like but the dreams of what lives can be for little girls when they grow up.
That's the greatness Barbie imbues and inspires in girls.

If males or men poo-poo this film, it only shows their inadequate understanding of girls and women and why they're on the outside, and why the fail at partnershipping females.

This film has brilliantly executed Barbie's world, lifestyle, and friends.
It's actually quite genuine ingenious and sincere to show you as it is.
All the cardboardness and hard plastic grounds why the fantasies it evokes are so poignant and real.
Everyone can play everyday without any harm.

Sure the props are poofy and fluffy,
however they do not define Barbie.
Neon yellows, peach pink to magenta pink
super convertibles and the boatiest of boats
Fur coat Ken to hobby horse Ken
Yes, it's all there.
The cherry is just that Barbie can be ordinary or and ideal.
A super extraordinary everyworldly accomplished archetype.

The director Greta Gerwig excels at storying telling with camp, parody, satire, big musical numbers, and drama. Equally firing all burners at all times.
A great opus of subtleness and condensation of Barbiessence.

And perfect casting.
Margot Robbie is just outstanding embodiment and her Barbie is pure finesse. Her core gives absolute meaning and believability to the whole film. We believe in her and root for her. Pure Aces. Just fun and wow.
Ryan Gosling unrequited hokeyness is so apropos. He makes up laugh with him, for him, at him because he is so us when we get happy, quirky, humiliated, or ignored. He's such a cut-up.

The writing dialogue by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach is served deliciously pink with no apologies.

A rainbow cornucopia of explosive and thrilling musical numbers, characters and quippy animations. Finally, it safe fun fiesta. For sure, double entendres are everywhere and you don't have to get them to just enjoy the sensationalism and sentiments. Kids will enjoy it like a circus or parade so bring them.

As a guy who grew up with my grandma, she never minded whether I watched Barbie movies. This Barbie film addresses a lot of issues that women have to deal with that I was aware of, but I had no idea how painful and distressing they might be. This Barbie movie outlines a lot of concerns that women have to deal with that I was aware of, but I had no idea how painful and difficult it is when compared to men. The film addressed how women are expected to attain perfection in all aspects of their lives due to the ideals set by our society at large. Now I understand why women strive for perfection and how it isn't enough by society's standards. Women's accomplishments are seen differently. Men are praised for doing the bare minimum. We may think we are advanced as a society, but if you look deeper, you can see that it rooted from things that made women think they need to take it to the next level, look beautiful according to the standards and strive harder to be respected. Being a woman infact is hard work to start with, being able to experience periods and having to push out literal human babies out of them is not easy work. BEING A WOMAN IS ENOUGH. This is a movie where there is a place where women rule and men exist but they were never mistreated and degraded. And for somehow male audiences still sees it as a threat and insult for them.… Expand

A Very Conflicting Film on Many Fronts For Me.

Growing up, I was a pretty big fan of the old Barbie Direct to Video Movies. Being a boy growing up in the late 2000s I had to watch them while everyone else was asleep, like I was doingA Very Conflicting Film on Many Fronts For Me.

Growing up, I was a pretty big fan of the old Barbie Direct to Video Movies. Being a boy growing up in the late 2000s I had to watch them while everyone else was asleep, like I was doing something taboo (which it kind of was at the time). Girls in elementary and middle school would talk about them, but I knew if I even said a word about it it'd be constant scrutiny, from them and my other classmates. Those films, as well as the Tinker Bell ones, WInx Club, Monster High, Totally Spies, they all were very formative for me as a kid.

Recently, as an adult, i've finally been able to talk about these things and be open about liking them, and I was very excited to see this movie. Going into the theatre was fun, seeing everyone dressed up in pink was neat and I was having a blast through the first half of the movie. Once they got to the real world, I was still laughing at all of the patriarchy jokes they were making, as I thought the movie was making the point that both worlds were broken and they had to work together to fix them. However, as the movie went on, it just felt like the narrative was screaming at me in the theatre that I shouldn't be there. Even if I loved the sets, the performances, the acting, the jokes, I couldn't get past that this movie of a character that I personally really liked was reaffirming all those childhood traumas of being othered as a man who liked things considered "girly."

The movie seems to set out to break gender roles, but it honestly just reinforces them by alienating a lot of people who would really love to support its other message of humanity and everyone being flawed in their own way. These "Girls Rule, Boys Drool" narratives are, in my opinion, very juvenile and only serve to hinder any progress we can make in breaking gender norms and making everyone feel comfortable to be themselves. I loved literally everything else about this movie, but a movie that makes me feel like less of a human being will never not be painful.… Expand

To summarize the negative reviews: some people did not understand the sarcasm of Barbie's matriarchal society being "perfect" and felt victimized by the female empowerment narrative. They neither watched the previews nor read the reviews, but they feel justified in saying it was a blindside.

This movie invites you into the rich (and needless to say vibrant) world of the familiar stereotypical Barbie doll, with the welcome additions of hilarious Barbie lore. The plot centers around Barbie's existential crisis when her feet flatten and she discovers she has cellulite and her journey to correct these glitches and return to her perfect life. If you're hoping for a cathartic cry or two, you're absolutely in luck. Inconsolable laughter? You got it. Cringe so hard you nearly sink through the seat? Yep. It's a journey. Margot Robbie and America Ferrera are magnificent. It's worth at least one watch, maybe two.… Expand

Barbie's existential crisis was funny and enlightening. It went beyond social commentary on gender to explore themes like death and what a gift it is to experience the whole gamut of human existence vs a predetermined perfect trajectory. I never played with Barbie so I wasn't sure if this movie was going to do anything for me but I found it a fun celebration of femininity. Those who are saying that this movie is against men, it's not - the point is that when things are out of balance, when people are not allowed to achieve their own potential then society itself loses out. This imbalance occurred in Barbieland, a fictitious place run by women, and "the real world" primarily run by men. No one is saying the Barbies in Barbieland were bad because they allowed that to happen. Similarly no one is blaming men in the "real world." It's a natural outcome of the imbalance of power and opportunity.… Expand

Anything revolting against the "status quo" of "WOMEN MUST BE PUT DOWN" will get unecessarythis movie might just be the first one I've ever seen that tackles women's rights with a direct attack on all the cliche IM THE MAN sorta stuff. Anything revolting against the "status quo" of "WOMEN MUST BE PUT DOWN" will get unecessary hatred especially on a platform that does not need proof you went to see the movie, anyone can write a review which leaves room for misogynistic men to try to assume control over the situation by writing bad reviews and making the movie seem like a flop! Its really not, its amazing, the acting, the HUMOR, the story, and the content! Its a literal and full masterpiece! The humor was abundent all throughout the movie, the ending I still cannot get over, it tackled and adressed some very serious problems about society, and it left me feeling absolutely inspired to support women and to do my part in making the world a better place for each other! The theatre experience was even more amazing! Everyone decked out in pink, the theatre constantly roaring with laughter, it felt like a real family, bonding over trauma the world that's been taken over by man has given women. I seriously recommend watching it ESPECIALLY for men. I'm sure very little will go see this movie (even though we did see a ton of men at the theatre watching it), some men are just too self absorbed to care if women are suffering, being abused, or just plain harassed so Ill doubt they'll consider this movie as a MUST, but maybe, just maybe they'll walk away being a little bit more empathetic to women. Or take it as unreasonable complaining LIKE IT WAS ADRESSED IN THE MOVIE. "You have to love being a mother, but you can't talk about your kids all the time or that's bragging, you have to suffer in silence because if you speak out it'll be considered complaining" not sure if this is the exact quote or not, but you will hear something similar in the climax of the film with a ton of other sad truths of what its like. So to everyone who watched this movie, and to everyone planning to go watch it, lets fight back on our own front, write reviews! Explain what it was actually like to see the movie and lets raise these reviews! This is one movie worth watching.… Expand

I think despite what people say about the loose ends that may not have been tied off such as the daughter and mothers relationship, I think that if it did tie those ends, it would not be the same. These days a plot is so predictable and I feel like this movie for once surprised me consistently. Every turn and twist implemented was a good one and I enjoyed every second.

It's exactly the modern feminist manifesto we needed as a society right now, and was simultaneously the longest marketing ad for Mattel ever LOL I loved this movie, I cried multiple times. This movie feels like it was made out of pure love for women. Many parts of the film were like watching a celebration of female joy. It had a smart and necessary analysis into Barbie's role as a cultural icon and the effects she has had on girls self esteem, body image, etc. Ken played a very important role. He was essentially an incel who ultimately redeemed himself by rejecting the patriarchy and becoming a whole person (a whole Ken if you will LOL). He realized he could only be happy and become whole by rejecting his own toxic masculine ideals and accepting that he can be whoever he truly wants to be without the patriarchy. This movie has a lot of deeper meaning that was barely touched upon, but nonetheless welcomes further discussion about how both women and men are oppressed by a patriarchal society.… Expand

As with a lot of other movies this year, I'm not really getting the fuss with this as far as controversiesMuch like Rule 34 (stay with me here), if it's a piece of media that exists with a take on gender politics, you've pissed somebody off. As with a lot of other movies this year, I'm not really getting the fuss with this as far as controversies are concerned. Not only do I feel as though the commentary here is mostly innocuous — nay — benevolent, but it's pretty evenhanded and much in line with the filmmaker's other studies on eccentricity, nuance and empathy. Never thought I'd be getting a thoughtful treatise on the inherent difficulties of being male in a movie about "Barbie," but here we are. Largely, though, this represents yet another step up the ladder of greatness for Greta Gerwig, as she ventures out of the world of explicit realism and into surrealist ecstasy. Margot Robbie absolutely carries this movie, but make no mistake, the Ken bits involving Ryan Gosling are just unmitigated entertainment. This movie also has some truly beautiful things to say about the human experience and living as a whole. I knew "Barbenheimer" was going to be a whole lot of fun, but, man, are we lucky both these movies turned as well as they did, with either film representing an easy contender for my favorite of the year.… Expand
