Review of Barbie

Barbie (I) (2023)
8/10
Hi Barbie!
26 December 2023
You've waited KENough for this! Barbie and Ken are having the time of their lives in the colorful and seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land. However, when they get a chance to go to the real world, they soon discover the joys and perils of living among humans.

The Barbie movie was a weird but very successful mixture. It had all the fun and comedy while also hitting on some really deep subjects. To start off, the movie was superrrrrrrr KENtertaining and funny as I found myself laughing out loud many times during the 1 hour and 56 minutes run-time. Margot Robbie was superb as Barbie as she gives various levels to her character that goes through major developments in this movie. Ryan Gosling was also amazing as Ken as he also shares some great chemistry with Margot.

Greta Gerwig just shows how good she is by displaying great attention to details, beautiful set and costume design, and a really funny but deep script; the film was just stunning to look at! Additionally, it included some really good and catchy songs that really suited the mood. Now although the film has its funny and witty jokes, a major part of it was to highlight some major issues and deliver very deep messages in a very clever way and I think we had the perfect balance between those two worlds (although many may disagree). One minor issue I had with this movie was that some aspects were a bit rushed. However, on the larger scheme, this may be disregarded as that's not the movie's general mood.

Score:8.5/10.
