About:
Barbie is a 2023 American fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig, who wrote the screenplay with Noah Baumbach. Based on the Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel, it is the first live-action Barbie film after numerous computer-animated direct-to-video and streaming television films.
Following multiple writer and director changes and the casting of Amy Schumer and later Anne Hathaway as Barbie, the rights were transferred to Warner Bros. Pictures in October 2018. Barbie premiered at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on July 9, 2023, and was theatrically released in the United States on July 21 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Its simultaneous release with Universal’s Oppenheimer led to the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon on social media, which encouraged audiences to see both films as a double feature. The film received positive reviews from critics and has grossed $1.043 billion worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing film of 2023.
About Barbie:
To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken.

Critic Reviews:
When I became a father I searched for movies that would show my daughter positive role models, and it was tough going. Barbie makes up for lost time and should warm the hearts of parents and daughters alike.

In a world where blockbuster films are surrounded by digital landscapes, Barbie’s devotion to practical production is outstanding.

Greta Gerwig serves up a frothy confection of fashion and fun coupled with searing social critique of the iconic doll in the movie Barbie.

Gerwig’s satire and the comedic chops of Robbie and, especially, Gosling fall into perfect rhythm once Barbie and Ken leave the candy-colored comforts of Barbie Land and Ken discovers the patriarchy.

Gerwig’s glee as a director is evident… It’s a lot to take in, and some skits work better than others. But if you consider this movie to be a package deal, the package is wrapped nice and tight — but not perfectly.

It’s funny, it’s bright and uplifting, and I think has a lot to say about the modern world – both in terms of feminism and gender equality. Ryan Gosling really goes all-out.

TOP CRITIC
BARBIE is a cinematic phenomenon that pulls off the rarest of feats: using a doll to make a striking commentary about gender politics. Greta Gerwig levels up as a director and writer with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling delivering career best performances.

It’s hard to understand getting angry about a film like Barbie. It’s such a joyously bonkers, rip-roaringly hilarious, and yes very pinkly-coloured piece of pure unbridled entertainment.

Barbie, while far from perfect, is an unexpectedly delightful breath of fresh and campy air with a reasonably well-delivered feminist message.

With a final line that’s one of the best in the business, Barbie shows it’s possible to both deconstruct the ideal and keep the manufacturer onside with a script that is a masterful balancing act, some subtle, smart direction and some terrific actors.

Positive growth.
Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture.
But his operations taken together are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.
Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
