Barbie (2023) Movie Review

Before making Barbie (2023), Greta Gerwig single-handedly directed two films: Lady Bird (2017) and Little Women (2019). Both were about girls on the precipice of adolescence, both had nuanced and layered portrayals of mother-daughter relationships, and both combined imaginative visuals with clever dialogue. Both were very, very good. Given those credentials, one may expect Barbie to be as intelligent, convincing, and amusing a picture – and, well, it isn’t. The fantasy comedy begins in Barbie Land, a place where Barbie (played by Margot Robbie) is having the best day every day, in the company of other Barbies and, occasionally, Kens. The designs, costumes, and cinematography do an excellent job of re-creating the Mattel vision in its pink plastic perfection. The introduction is referential but not overly reliant on what is external to the film; it is smartly self-aware and presents a world where Barbie can be anything – a President, a Physicist, a Journalist, a Lawyer, or a Mermaid.
