Barbie, that icon that is both worshiped and criticized, gets a delightful and clever story that updates and humanizes her and, above all, that entertains.

Greta foi capaz de utilizar a Barbie como mensageira de algo tão importante, atravessou gerações, expôs no filme a relação mãe e filha, patriarcado e sociedade, vida adulta e a roleta russa das emoções desencadeadas pela crise existencial, padrão de beleza, mundo ideal e mundo real, entre outros. Barbie aproximou as mulheres no mundo real, basta observar os debates levantados e realizados nas redes sociais, mulheres e adolescentes se uniram ao usar rosa para desfrutar de algo que elas defendiam e se identificaram. Só quem é mulher entende 100% do peso das falas e situações mostradas no filme. Amo Barbie por trazer essa mensagem e união. Expand

Wonderful cast, bold and classy script. It will annoy anyone who doesn't agree with the premise that basically humans should be treated better, and humans need to stop punching down in order to lift themselves up. Ryan Gosling's turn as stereotypical Ken is a delight but Allen... Allen was a wonderful surprise! Greta's script walks the line of not annoying Mattel (IP) too much and not overplaying the point that, yes, we know Barbie dolls are very problematic. There was cheering in our screening. Everyone seemed to leave on a high. Overall it is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Expand

Much Better than Opppenheimer While i'm not so sure at first, the movie kept getting even more fun, entertaining, and definitely better, also surprisingly deal with a legit serious stuff In reality Margot Robbie dominated the film as expectedMuch Better than Opppenheimer While i'm not so sure at first, the movie kept getting even more fun, entertaining, and definitely better, also surprisingly deal with a legit serious stuff In reality Margot Robbie dominated the film as expected and has developed into a true cinematic icon Barbie was a good time, definitely recommended and with this movie somehow it's actually possible to have a live-action Barbie movie I was honestly doubting this movie at first, but surprisingly I find myself really liking it quite a lot I also want to highlight the makeup, set, photography and choreography. 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 :)

Everything she directs is an instant favorite. I loved every second of it! So many moments made me cry and laugh. Gloria's monologue about what it's like to be a woman is beautiful and poignant but barely scratches the surface. I hope this is a feminist awaking for many young fems and a wake-up call for many men. The soundtrack is flawless. Billie Eliish's song has had me in tears all week. I love being a woman and I love that this movie celebrates the nuances from the silliness to the suffering and everything in between. In a world of kens, be an Allen. Expand

A modern hot pink masterpiece.

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.

TLDR: This film is life-changing!

Barbie is a fantastic film that tackles the idea of how patriarchy has effected our society and how no matter what, women can't really win because of it. 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. The cast went above and beyond in this movie and I will 100 percent be seeing this film in movies again and bying it when it comes out on DVD.

I should mention that Issa Rae & America Ferrera are just so awesome a-swell in this world. Now! having grown up in the 90s and seeing how popular the toys were, I was apart of the “Barbie” crazed era in primary school. It’s really cool knowing everyone has another summer blockbuster coming that they can be truely excited about. Really hope that everyone can give “Barbie” a chance, because it has a lot of HEART.

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 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.

Eu simplesmente estou maravilhada com tamanho humor e acidez e perfomance do filme. Foi tudo cor de rosa é muito bom eu literalmente nem sempre dou 10/10 para filmes mesmo amando ou tendo como favorito porque crítica é crítica e também é necessário ter. Enfim o filme entregou tudo que era para entregar.

Me animou em tudo me fez chorar e até me fez refletir sobre o que já sabia lol las piada adultas sensacional. Greta tirou onda nossa. Genial Esse filme de fato me quebrou no final da Barbie se apresentando como Bárbara e indo ao ginecologia e sorrindo com seu humor e peculiaridade.

Ele foi bom em geral eu só achei ele rápido talvez na hora que eu o assistir. Devia ter sido 2 horas lol muito bom.

Esta película es solo odiada por ridículos que no entendieron el mensaje de la película, aqui les explico:
Para Mujeres: Deja de esforzarte por querer resaltar y ser perfecta, nadie lo es, solo se tú.
Para Hombre: No necesitas la aprobación de nadie, ni tener un acompañante, tú solo puedes ser lo que quieras ser.
Y el como jugaron con la muñeca Barbie de como paso de un muñeco que vive una vida "feliz" a Literalmente conocer lo que realmente es la vida y que no siempre es feliz.

The jokes were witty, funny, well-written and did not impede on the tone of any serious moments. Barbie was for sure targeted for kids but made for adults to enjoy just as much as the little ones. The casting was phenomenal, every actor embodied their character, Margot Robbie is dynamite in her role delivering every line with sincerity and real feeling. Ryan Gosling was the epitome of Ken, fun, and lovable but he was also able to sublimely deliver emotions that one would not associate with Ken. With 2 powerful stars you would think that the secondary characters would be unnoteworthy, but Simu Liu, and Will Ferrell command the screen so remarkably, not to mention every other Barbie and Ken, and Allen too. All of this without even mention the cinematography and the breathtaking music which culminates into a delightful story that impressively tackles pretty serious issues. Expand

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.

The portrayal of Ken was impeccable representing just how quickly things can be taken away from women by men whilst also perfectly showing how they don’t know what they are doing it is all subconscious ( you don’t blame ken) it is the society that has set up and the manipulation of peoples feelings that creates unjust situations. I give greta gerwig my heart for making this movie a love letter to all alone it made me feel safe and accepted as a girl, a woman and a barbie which we all are! 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.

Much 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 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.

Meet Barbie (Margot Robbie) who lives in Barbieland with all the other Barbies (Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey…) with their dreamhouses, cars and accessories. Also in Barbieland are the Kens (Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu,Meet Barbie (Margot Robbie) who lives in Barbieland with all the other Barbies (Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey…) with their dreamhouses, cars and accessories. Also in Barbieland are the Kens (Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Ncuti Gatwa…) and Allen, (a.k.a. Ken’s Buddy a.k.a. Michael Cera). Every day is perfect in Barbieland and “Barbie has a great day everyday” but soon Barbie begins to have an existential crisis and things aren’t so perfect for her anymore as she begins to question her world and existence.

Barbie is for all the women who played with Barbie dolls, for all the women who love everything pink and wonderful and for all the women who have a “weird, dark and crazy side.” Barbie is for everyone. I wouldn’t have guessed that one of the standout movies of the year would be about a Barbie doll but this is more than a movie about a piece of plastic with great hair. It’s a movie dealing with deeper issues like self-esteem, impossible beauty standards, identity and the unrealistic expectations put on women. It had so much more depth to it than I ever would have expected. It’s not afraid to make fun of itself but without turning Barbie into a joke. Seriously if you go into Barbie expecting to hate it then congratulations you’re going to hate it. I personally don’t love everything pink and wonderful but I really enjoyed Barbie and you don’t have to be Barbie obsessed to like it.

If there was ever a clear cut case of an actor born to play a role it’s Margot Robbie as Barbie. She absolutely killed it. She was able to portray the “stereotypical Barbie” and “existential crisis Barbie” to perfection and no one else could have gave that performance as well as Margot. Ryan Gosling is channelling his inner kenergy to tap into this role and you were more than kenough Ryan you were absolutely perfect. Fair play to Greta Gerwig for turning what could have been a giant advertisement for Mattel into a terrific and fun movie with a great message. America Ferrera’s speech about what it means to be a woman will go down as one of cinema’s greatest movie monologues. She stole the show with that one scene alone and was met with cheers in the cinema.

The attention to detail with all the sets in Barbieland are brilliant, the dance sequences were expertly choreographed, Helen Mirren was excellent as the narrator and arguably got the best joke in the whole movie. I’ve no words to describe the “I’m Just Ken” song, it’s a cinematic event that will probably never be repeated. Ryan Gosling has reminded us all how great at comedy roles he is, and I don’t believe any other actor could have pulled that off.

It’s pink, fluffy, silly and sure it’s a little cringey at times but sure that’s to be expected. It found the balance between goofy humour and heart. It will speak to so many people and looking at the sold out movie screens more than two weeks after it’s opening date we can expect Barbie to reel in the profits. Warner Bros wouldn’t be rolling in the money if it wasn’t for the writers, the actors and all those behind the scenes who brought Barbie to the big screen in a creative and fun way. The marketing team also outdid themselves this time and this collective effort and hard work has paid off.

The success of Barbie has inevitably led to Mattel launching their own cinematic universe based on a variety of different toys. Unfortunately they’ve most likely missed the point as to why Barbie has been so successful and resonated with so many people. Unless they get proper filmmakers to each take one of these movies and think outside the box then they are setting themselves up for failure. Cinema audiences don’t want more toy based movies, because Barbie is more than just a movie about a doll, they really did come up with an ingenious, bizarre and sublime way to make Barbie.

Barbie definitely exceeded my expectations and is just a delightfully good time at the cinema. For many cinemas the last two weeks have been the most successful weekends in years due to Barbie and Oppenheimer. Real filmmakers making real movies outside of franchises and remakes. If you haven’t seen either of these films yet then what are you waiting for and if you’ve already seen both then congratulations movie buffs for completing Barbenheimer.

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

A masterpiece of feminist satire that touches the soul.

"Barbie" is a skilfully constructed film that evokes a wide range of emotions: from sincere laughter to bitter tears. It immerses the viewer in a wonderful world and is a shining example of how to shoot pictures for the modern generation with a fast pace of life. The editing of the scenes will satisfy even clip-minded viewers. During the time I watched this film, I didn't have time to notice how quickly it was over.

At the centre of the story is plastic culture icon Barbie, a shining example of the versatility of female art. Gerwig skilfully reveals her as a symbol of feminism while also highlighting her outdated traits. Ken, the embodiment of patriarchal ideals, is funny yet touching in showing how patriarchy affects men, and he feels rejected in Barbieland but accepted in the real world.

The script for this film is a real find. Full of hilarious moments and lines. Personally, I experienced a huge range of emotions that I haven't felt in a long time, from genuine laughter to tears. Credit to the actors, and in particular Ryan Gosling, who can safely be called the star of this film. His skilful performance as Ken not only makes you laugh, but also makes you empathise with the hero. Margot Robbie is just perfect for the role of Barbie, and her heartfelt embodiment of an existential crisis is riveting to watch. She is the most perfect choice of actress, it's impossible to imagine anyone else in the role. As noted in the film, she plays the stereotypical Barbie, which is entirely appropriate, but she also exudes the undying, exaggerated optimism necessary for this candy-coated world. Her acting is immensely enjoyable.

It really struck me that the worst thing the Kens had to go through in Barbieland was being ignored and not given much importance, whereas as soon as 'Barbie' entered the real world, she was hounded and objectified.

Particular attention should be paid to the idea of the film, of embedding an existential crisis in the image of the perfect doll. The metaphors conveying the cracks in Barbieland's facade resonate in the soul and make us think about our reality, where ideals are not always as perfect as they seem.

The visual splendour of "Barbie" is simply mesmerising. The costumes of each character, especially Barbie and Ken, are so exquisitely and meticulously made that they deserve a separate admiration. The sets, which embody the world of Barbieland, immerse the audience in a unique universe where every detail is created with love and passion.

In my opinion, this film was an intelligence test. I have seen many comments as people describe that the film attacks men. It really isn't. One question I would like to ask the people who are so vehemently heckling this film is, "Are we sure we've seen the same film?"

The soundtrack is the true cherry on the cake. The richness and variety of songs from talented performers add to the emotional intensity of the film. The beautifully chosen songs underscore the mood of the scenes, making the film even more captivating. The additional participation of some A-singers such as Lady Gaga with her unreleased song "Fashion", Taylor Swift with her "Wildest Dreams" and Lana Del Rey also with her unreleased song "Queen of Disaster" would have been another great plus for the film.

After such an intriguing ending to the film, I really want to see a sequel as soon as possible.

9 out of 10

"Barbie" is a film that is worth seeing and definitely worth discussing after watching. This film will surprise and make you think, and I highly recommend it to all connoisseurs of quality cinema. I don't know why I want to watch this film again. And again. And again. That's how much I enjoyed it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: it is nostalgic to all people who played Barbie as children (in a good way); it's funny; it interestingly describes the problem of growing up, mother/daughter relationships (Barbie/her creator and Mum/daughter from the real world); it shows how difficult is to be a woman sometimes (and for my nation (I'm from one of European countries) all she said was a sad truth; if in USA it's otherwise, skip this point); it's bright and well-choreographed; I'm not a specialist, but the actors' work was also great. Ken was a good antagonist who made me hate him (not because he's a man, but because his character was envious, rude and used his power to make other people suffer; if you imagine in his place some mad female scientist, nothing will change), Barbie showed relatable emotions.
Cons: some amount of dirty jokes, Mattel's team didn't have any plot behind them (like, they were funny, but didn't have any actual purpose), several story arcs weren't finished.
Speaking about offensive ideas - the description of patriarchy served mostly for comedy purposes. No one considered the Idiocracy offensive towards silly or clever people, I hope, as well as Scary movie towards ghosts.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie is good. It hold and mirror up to the Patriarchy (not men as so many believe) and shows how it effects not just women but the men as well. If people actually paid attention when the are "deprogramming" the other Barbies they talk about how the patriarchy cause men to think with their egos and cause harm to each other because they are focused on trying to make sure they are tough and masculine. It all resolves with Ken realizing that he is someone outside of being barbies friend (because they are not bf/gf she does not like him that way as is stated multiple times)

Also alot of dude bros that are upset with how men are portrayed when Barbie first enters the real world just simply don't listen to women and their stories because the things that happen are very real and start happening from a very young age

All in all Greta killed it once again. Margot and Ryan put on fantastic performances and the movie was gorgeous.

I really like this movie, but the resolution in the end is not so good. They didn't solve anything, they just reversed the situation again.

Greta Gerwig is smart, and if you’re willing to spend more than two seconds to think about the movie you’ll realize that it gives no easy answers to the political and moral questions it raises. Some people will find this unsatisfying, but only a moron would say that this makes the movie bad.

My theater was packed, and there was massive energy in the crowd. The movie was littered with hilarious jokes and the funniest musical numbers I’ve seen since Enchanted (2009). Both Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling deliver phenomenal performances. One of the best movies I’ve seen this year, can’t wait to watch it again.

It was fun, light, wacky, self aware, and introspective, and to do these things with such heart takes like a safecracker brand of light touch. I loved this film. And the worst and depressingly predictable thing is the immediate hate it is getting from people who either couldn't be bothered to think about the film's point because they don't feel they should have to in a movie about one of the most mass produced toys the world has ever seen, or they DID think about it, and it made them uncomfortable verging on enraged because this movie's villain is patriarchy, and they feel attacked as a result. The only complaint I have is that this is still the latest in a line of recent studio films that are basically long commercials celebrating consumerism masquerading as films. BUT I will forgive this one a bit; you could never adapt this script to get the film's point while avoiding the brand because Barbie's iconness as a product is part of her character. Which means I won't be running out to buy any new or vintage licensed Barbie merch for myself, but I will feel better about when I buy it for my family members and friends' kids for Christmas. Ok maybe one NWT Barbie tee off Poshmark or eBay for me. Or 5, we'll see what the prices with shipping look like... Expand

I never expected to leave a film about a plastic Mattel Childs toy and leave with my inner child sobbing and healed. Themes of the effects of patriarchy and an existential crisis.
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.

I had always wanted a Barbie, but I never regretted playing with my toy automobiles. 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 dealI had always wanted a Barbie, but I never regretted playing with my toy automobiles. 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

So funny yet had so many underlying themes that truly reflect the human race. It surprised me by playing into both perspectives of a male and a female in society and showed several parallels when Barbie world and the real world intertwined. 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. Not to mention the soundtrack, it was incredible. I loved every part of this movie and it really does portray accurate themes of life in the sense that there isn’t always a perfect ending for everyone. I highly recommend the movie, GO WATCH!!!!

The writing and storyline is so much deeper than I could have imagined for a Barbie movie. I loved this movie so much that I saw it twice opening week and plan to buy it once it hits streaming. I think women and girls of all ages will love it. I know plenty of guys who like it as well. It's smart, funny, clever, deep, thoughtful, etc. I was actually in tears during the America Ferrera monolog. These actors are all amazing. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gossling were the perfect Barbie and Ken. The music was amazingly hilarious. The Ken battle scene cracked me up so much. Greta Gerwig is a phenomenal. I loved her version of Little Women and this is every bit as good. Barbie is a must see. Don't wait, go see it now! Expand

I did not know anything particular about it and didn't see any trailer before. So I was really suprised when I watched this movie. And I was nearyl laughing the whole time! Haven't laughed so much for a long time! The Barbieland is hilarious and the tropes they use as well. The feminism and empowerment message is so over the top that this is funny as well (without losing its critique). So I just can recommend watching this movie, but try to avoid trailers. Expand

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!!!

AsYou know a movie is good when it makes you feel like maybe living isn't so bad. Oh how i love being a woman!!! Barbie hit on so many real life problems and had me reflecting on all the stages of my own girlhood, and my moms, and her moms. As women we all have so much power and potential that for too long has been diminished and undermined by men, and even by other women, as we’ve been conditioned to point the knife we were handed by them against ourselves and each other. Everyone was laughing and crying in the theater together and the community feeling of everyone dressed in pink was such a cute human moment. Not to mention having a hard time finding parking because every spot was filled; as were our hearts during this wonderful extremely important film. Thank you Margot & every single person who took part in making that experience happen. I cannot wait to watch it again!!!!! Expand
