Moviegoers are saying
Barbie emerges as a surprisingly profound meditation on womanhood disguised as a pink-soaked toy commercial, with Ryan Gosling's Ken becoming an unexpected scene-stealer that has audiences declaring themselves 'Kenough.' While some viewers felt lectured rather than entertained by its feminist themes, most found themselves emotionally blindsided by Greta Gerwig's smart commentary wrapped in nostalgic candy-colored packaging.

It’s a riotously entertaining candy-coloured feminist fable that manages simultaneously to celebrate, satirise and deconstruct its happy-plastic subject. Audiences will be delighted. Mattel should be ecstatic.

Gerwig has crafted a warm, funny and cinematically rich film – if one whose narrative and political ambitions are far less radical than it would like us to suppose.

“Barbie” comes roaring out of the gate with an inventiveness and energy the movie perhaps inevitably can’t sustain. Amid all the hype that has made its release an increasingly rare movie-going occasion, director Greta Gerwig’s film proves an admirably ambitious attempt to ponder where Barbie fits in the 21st century – less than it could be, but pretty close to being what it should be.
