Chris Sawin: _Barbie_ reels you in with its silly humor and fantastical ideas. The war of Kens during the last half hour of the film is an all-timer because a battle full of handsome maneuvers, like showing off their naked chest and manly noogies, turns into a full on dance off between Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu….
MovieGuys: I took my daughter along to see this, naively expecting light, family friendly fun and well, its not. Not even a little.
The kindest way I can describe this monstrosity is mean spirited, misandry. The message is simply not one I want my child taking on board.
My daughter wanted to leave before…
Manuel São Bento: FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.firstshowing.net/2023/review-greta-gerwigs-barbie-is-both-hilarious-thought-provoking/
"Barbie is hilariously meta, containing spectacularly funny musical numbers, and an efficient tonal balance between over-the-top comedy and rich, thought-provoking social …
TheRealMina: Terrible movie with no plot.
The film is marketed as a light hearted family film but instead focuses on adult themes while pushing an extremist feminist agenda which mocks traditional family values and men.
The only enjoyable parts of this movie are the scenes with Ken, played by Ryan Gosling.
CinemaSerf: "Thus Spake Zarabarbie" – that's the opening message as narrated by Dame Helen Mirren who gives us a potted history of the doll – from it's origins as an inanimate plaything of young girls to it's current status as an empowering conduit for young girls to emerge into society as uninhibited and aspir…
JP Hastings-Spital: This was an _excellent_ film that left me emotionally stretched in just the right way. It's an adult movie with childhood references (not a kids' film at all), and seems pitched at people roughly my age (Matchbox 20 referenced as a track for wooing is too close for comfort!) It _superbly_ voices the…
Brent Marchant: “Heavy is the arm that wears its heart on its sleeve.” That’s the best way to sum up this overwritten, overlong, stunningly obvious treatise on gender equality, consumerism and existentialism, whose messages get beaten to death beginning early on and never let up, an exhausting experience, to be sur…
rsanek: McKinnon and Gosling's acting is great, and the dance numbers are really well done. But the story is very weak — the Gloria/Sasha tie-in felt ham-fisted and the 'bonding' Barbie has at the end with Ruth makes no sense in the context of the rest of the film. It also doesn't help that throughout the …
DRDMovieMusings: The _Barbie_ movie is funny, and fun, and moved with deft pace from laughs to moments so engaging you could hear a pin drop in the theatre.
Its social message should not be controversial — _Barbie_ is a _critique of power and status quo_.
Its allegory in art swings at every in-power group, an…
The Movie Mob: **Barbie's breathtaking visuals and practical effects outshine the erratic storytelling to make a fresh and innovative movie with themes that will be divisive for many.**
Barbie is a visually stunning achievement that has excelled at the box office while dividing audiences. On the one hand, Barbi…
Thulan Perera: Barbie presents a captivating cinematic journey, deftly utilizing an iconic doll to explore intricate gender dynamics. Guided by Greta Gerwig’s direction, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling offer standout performances, complemented by memorable songs and stunning set designs, creating an immersive and h…
viha: The main problem with this movie is that the authors attempt to address many crucial topics in our society, but none of them are explored thoroughly.
The main topic about equality for women in the world was screwed up by saying it out loud through characters, but not depicting it. And especially …
MarciaClarke: This movie is slightly above average by modern comedy standards. I was expecting more based on the people behind it, they've all produced better. I think more accurately it should be called "Ken", Ken is the character that goes through the most transformation, and who had the best jokes and sequence…
threestardave: First off, let me say that the production aspects of Greta Gerwig's Barbie are … incredible. It is a beautiful movie and an incredible homage to its subject matter and its selected era aesthetic.
The movie itself is far more complex, with dozens of delightful, if not bravura, performances (Marg…
r96sk: <em>'Barbie'</em> has more to it than I would've predicted. It's a good movie.
I steer clear of as much film promo as possible, so was kinda expecting this to be more of a 'proper' comedy – just an assumption on my part. It does have humour but it's far from the film's main thing, there are a few…

My feelings were somewhat ambivalent before watching "Barbie". Due to my admiration for Greta Gerwig's films and her personal work, I had high expectations. However, the comprehensive marketing of "Barbie" had me concerned that it might fall…
