historically inaccurate film, all of my barbies used to scissor

we all knew barbie was going to be funny. we all knew it’d have something to say about the “female coming-of-age,” as all of greta gerwig’s movies have thus far. and we all knew margot robbie and ryan gosling would turn in note-perfect performances as barbie and ken. and they did.

what i didn’t know was how much barbie would mean - not truly, not fully. how much it would mean to me, to the women sitting to my left and right, to all of us. the depth and breadth of its central message was something i couldn’t have ever anticipated, despite having the utmost faith in greta gerwig at every twist and turn. and even though i’d been looking…

In the moments where you can tell this is Greta either just having fun or laying bare her feelings about womanhood and being human, this really sings. I cried in the first 30 minutes when Barbie meets an old woman and simply says, “you’re beautiful”. I cried laughing at the “can I play the guitar at you” Ken bit. But I think people are discounting how many clear limitations there are for this movie that is still a toy commercial, and apparently a car commercial, with an overzealous script that can give some tonal whiplash. So it’s not the feminist masterpiece that early reactions lead me to believe, but still a really fun and inventive exploration of some stuff many of us have frustrations about. Oscar noms incoming for those costumes/prod. design.
