A GREAT time! I didn’t feel like anything was done in poor taste or came off the wrong way either. I went in hoping to have a fun time and that’s what I got. It’s very campy (maybe a little too campy at times) and very funny as well, but it’s an actually well-written screenplay with committed, entertaining performances. Robbie was exceptional, and Gosling was a delightful highlight. I do think it’s a tad too long, but I’m glad it exists and I’m glad so many watched this and felt seen. Kenough!

The (ugly) plasticity of Barbie Land is very well done, however the story is run-of-the-mill and flat, the humour mostly predictable, the characters and settings superficial and contradictory and the dialogues really bad. Of course it's a corporate ad, but the script is a cringe-worthy, facepalm-inducing collection of memes and slogans, a list of declarations and complaints, all presented in the most obvious, unsubtle, patronizing, crude way. For "Barbie" feminism is just another trendy product.

I guess this is the most straightforward consumerist feminist narrative that can be produced possible. Even if the whole film was trying to be ironic, the whole concept of barbieness tops that irony. And, if you can't get the irony, it's the shallowness of Barbieworld.

Top satire. There's a couple of monologues that go kinda cringe and the moral signalling is more than a little preachy for a literal advert, but Ryan Gosling absolutely kills it in his performance as the lonely, unnoticed man who confronts the real world and realises that he is literally me. It's ironic that Ken is played so cool, and it gives the film so much more depth. I wish the metaphors could have been edgier tho. Let me see Barbie and Ken mash plastic parts. The studio wouldn't allow it

Sacrifices greatness on the alter of palatability, which is inevitable when the best chance to reach mass audiences with a progressive message is through adaptation of a corporate product. The weirdness of this film is not weird enough to weird anyone out. Also, Barbie and Ken are jokes with cohesive arcs (which is good) while the real world characters are just jokes (which is bad), which means that the massive diatribe about gender is given by a lame character that I didn't care about.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to reconcile this well-balanced social and corporate commentary produced by the very corporations it lambasts, but maybe that’s part of the whole dreamlike allegory this film works within. Regardless, I saw this in a sold out theatre that was completely energized. The sharp and fast writing was an instant hit. Every joke landed. I had a blast.

Ties itself up in knots trying to be both inclusive and blonde, to celebrate Barbie's feminism and criticize Mattel's sexism simultaneously without blatantly contradicting itself, and the result is an embarrassing mess of backwards-bent virtue signals standing in for anything like a story. I was occasionally amused, but it's, generally speaking, a new low for Baumbach and especially Gerwig - who started out an indie trailblazer and now stooges for big studios.

The portrayal of men in the story was outrageously offensive. The only non-brain-dead non-pussy-chaser was Allan, and even he was depicted as an unmasculine loser. I find it incredibly one-sidedly feminist that Barbie longs for more in life than daily monotony and seeks her purpose. She's put on a pedestal. While Ken, with same goals, is the villain. The human world is a sexist and patriarchal hell, but that's exactly where Barbie eventually wants to be. Message was lost on me.

Barbie, like any movie with this much pastel has to do (see also: White Noise) walks a really fine line between cotton candy and a crunchy centre. And to its considerable credit, it knows that that centre has to be crunchy, not solid; it's a tightrope walk between sincerity and self-parody that keeps checking itself, knowing it isn't always going to work for everyone. As for me, I laughed my ass off for 100 minutes. Now let me explain how The Godfather is better...

Speaking as a lifelong liberal: if you're a Woke person or one of their legion of liberal enablers and you wonder "Why are right wingers so hateful?" while simultaneously not seeing any problem with the overtly anti-male messaging of this film, start looking in the mirror. The first outrage is the giant double standard that allows this film to be created & the second is that so many don't see a problem. Imagine a “satire” where EVERY female character is a dope or a villain & cue the outrage!

Enormously cynical and brazen in the way it goes beyond capitalism commodifying critiques formulated against itself and enters a bold new domain of commodification of the critique of the commodification of the critique. It's great fun from a filmmaking standpoint, but there's not an iota of subversion in it: it's a well-made, self-reflexive, articulate two-hour advertisement, whose social message (aimed squarely at affluent white-collar professionals) serves as a buttress for brand awareness.

This movie made me uncomfortable, supra-meta-post-modernism I don't know how to define it. It is like McDonald's making a movie about a society where everyone is sated but then they discover what they eat is sh*t and they are dying. Then, two apprentice chefs go to a parallel universe kitchen and save the day by rediscovering the gastronomy and everyone eats happily after. Does that make sense? Well, this movie doesn't either, production quality and the performances of Robbie and Gosling aside.

Shaggy and wildly uneven, but too weird and audacious (and funny) for me not to admire it, even in its less successful gambits. My one hot take: I think Ryan Gosling (of whom I’m a big fan) is actively bad in this. He seems too smug and visibly in-on the joke; where Margot Robbie totally nails her character’s utter sincerity in a great performance, Gosling smothers his own in a way that feels overly eager to let you know how much fun he’s having without ever disappearing into the role.

[spoilers] A scatter-gun satire on its own trip: The brief glimpses of fashion drawings re-imagining angst-ridden contemporary Barbies seem to be the anchor for the delightful and joyous chaos (we sorely need a Proust Barbie should there be a sequel). I too was saddened that the patriarchy was not mainly about horses. N.B. don't mistake this one for a film to take very young children to, unless you want them asking what a gynecologist exam is in the car home.

Watched this two weeks ago, and I'm still not sure how to review it. The film's thesis that Barbie is a blank slate that you can project your own meaning on to, also applies to the film itself. What does it mean? Whatever you want or need it to. My interpretation: the film is a symbolic reenactment of the Proto-Indo-European invasion of Europe. (Historically, patriarchy really did start with horses.)

Mostly lighthearted, crowd-appealing fun. Maybe tries to have its cake and eat it too at times with trying to insert a proper message and stumbles a bit for it (see how the "real" character's arcs are oddly rushed). But that's not too much of a detriment when there's this much fun and style on display. Gosling, Robbie, and the set design all deserve to win awards.

I challenge anyone to make a better movie about Mattel's Barbie in 2023. Nah, this is great stuff though. Advertisement and Art symbiosis on a intensly powerful level where the product is us and we are the product. It should be harrowing but instead skewers + explores gender politics often in the most endearing possible way, such that it is basically undeniable. The messages are excellent but yet again sadly told through a thing you gotta buy to experience. Don't care about all that though FUN.

Barbie gets sidelined a bit in her own movie by a surprising Ken story, and lot of the character progression for the human characters was either rushed or generic. But... Barbie easily entertains with its commentary on Barbie Land and the Real World. The sets and colors were refreshing, and the performances were great. Could have used some more Charli XCX.

For 3/4 of the running time, this is amusing and fun. For that whole period, my only real thought was, “how can people have any kind of serious political objections to this silly fantasy comedy?”. In the final quarter, however, when the filmmakers try to make more of it than that, nonsense about Barbie's “place” spews forth and the film comes to an absolute dead halt. In short: recommended viewing method is to switch off at the conclusion of Ken’s big song-and-dance number (which is very good).

It kinda stumbled with messy messaging. They tried to add a lot of messaging, both explicitly (dialog borderline delivered to the audience) and subtextually, but there was to much of it, some of it contradictory, some of it to on the nose. But it was occasionally effective, and often fun and funny. Its kinda cringy woke at times so if that actively bugs you, you probably already watched 50 YouTube video essays about this movie being part of the death of Western Civilization.

This is "not a feminist movie" said the man in charge of the MattelCU, and yeah: Gosling is sublime and there are moments of poignancy (Ferrera's speech), but it's very corporate and its script (in everything but its comedy) is ... uninspired. The patriarchy is hardly anything but hilarious and its solution is regressive. It has none of the positive masculinity exuded by Gosling in interviews. Being a friend is less than love. Like, it's a lot of fun, but it's specifically not revolutionary.

With all the attempts to draw political meanings from this film, a seemingly trivial detail might be noteworthy: in Barbie Land, there are the sexes, they mix and men please women, but there's nothing sexual, in the sense that every real possibility of carnal intimacy is "sterilised". This poses a non-trivial question: when trying to conceive what's possible for and between men and women, politically and so on, are we taking care of the fact that we (unlike dolls) do have vaginas and testicles?

"Humanity set up in language a separate world beside the other world, a place so firmly set that, standing upon it, humanity could make itself master of that world" (Human all too Human I:11). Liberals' barbie-utopia is challenged by the decay in real-world/Ken's patriarchal backlash. Instead of "understanding" the this discontent, liberals resort to deception and fraud, hijacking political power and repairing the ideology. They force Kens to believe that a world w/o gender is the best. BS.

Can’t deny the spectacle, Gerwig’s ref point of Tati feels apt, the existentialism of plasticity, the Lego Movie meta humor is shallow but cute. Becomes an indulgent mess through its well-meaning but misguided and blunt force messaging, pop feminism unable to reconcile its clunky metaphors with the real world because they’re simply too meta-specific. I would feel like a knob for poking holes in the damn Barbie movie but if yr gonna yell this loudly at me I’m gonna yell back. Buy Mattel products.

Rewatch. I'm still not sure whether this is supposed to be played straight. Fun to see all the different characters with relatively different personalities. The screenplay is pretty tight and the part that drags for me, the Mattel headquarters, isn't actually that long on rewatch. Just the right amount of Kate McKinnon. I like America Ferreira but her speech felt disconnected. Fav scene: Barbies playing dumb for the Kens: "I put my money in a savings account" and asking about the Godfather.

Barbie is a mix of fun satire, goofy nonsense, boring singing and dreary soapboxing. With its neat visuals, good jokes and hilarious parodies this could have been a good movie. Now it repeatedly slows to a crawl to have people sing or have someone give a speech because we can't trust the audience to "get it". I feel that if they focused more on Ken in Barbieland before 'flipping the switch' it would've worked better. Having *three* actors from Sex Education is also a bit too distracting.

Funny, I've known her most of my life, but I didn't recognize this movie's pink, plastic, infantilized Barbie. The little doll woman I knew as a child was mysterious, distant and dignified. Her sideward glance suggested caution. In other words, she lived in the real world with me, not in some crass idealized capitalist dreamland. Oh I had a Ken, too, and I'm afraid I was just as uninterested in his inner life as Gerwig and Baumbach were.

A film that really tries to have its cake and eat it too. It wants to be everything: a campy comedy, a feel-good family blockbuster, a subversive feminist satire, and a corporate-approved brand booster. Many of these aspirations stand in contradiction to each other: how can you honestly critique society while at the same time bending to kiss the ring of capitalism? So Barbie can't have everything that it sets out for, but I'll be damned if it doesn't get close. An ambitious and equally fun movie

The notion of Ken as an accessory to Barbie, as being defined only with respect to Barbie, is an interesting role reversal that should be further explored. Script and acting was otherwise poor. On another note, despite Mattel’s self-critiques, we become the subject of the joke as Barbie breaks box office records worldwide. To Mattel, anti-capitalism is the new product: the irony of ironies.

“It is the wicked deception of love that it begins by making us dwell not upon a woman in the outside world but upon a doll inside our head, [...] the only one we shall ever possess, whom the arbitrary nature of memory, almost as absolute as that of the imagination, may have made as different from the real woman as the real Balbec had been from the Balbec I imagined- a dummy creation that little by little, to our own detriment, we shall force the real woman to resemble.” – Marcel Proust

I had a smile on my face the entire movie! Funny throughout. It's a feminist statement from first minute until last. It's as meta as anything Charlie Kaufman ever dreamed up. Loses a little bit of steam right at the end, but I enjoyed it more than "Oppenheimer", yeah, I said it! The more Oscars it's nominated for, the funnier it will all be!

its funny, original, well filmed, great soundtrack which suits it, great acting by margot and ryan. But a couple lectures on why men are shit and women are great and wokeness throughout kinda ruined it for me. The ken bits where so funny and the way barbie responded was perfect but then they just drop those bullshit lectures and just FUCK OFF with them. Its meant to be a comedy not a vice propaganda piece. The ending was shit aswell as ken should have got with barbie but boss bitch amiright

Very clever - funny and thought provoking. Strong performances, great sets and soundtrack -but because it is about plastic dolls it lacks an emotional core.

About as good of a Barbie movie as you could make. Surprisingly smart satire of gender relationships and corporate activism. Gosling deserves an Oscar nomination for his role. Highlight of the movie

The blend of blatant toy commercial and overt feminist thesis is occasionally wonky, and the first act is bizarrely unfunny compared to the others, but overall this is still an absolute winner, full of gorgeous production design, brilliantly dedicated performances, wildly funny lines and weird meta concepts, and a lot of extremely strong thematic material about the damaging effects of living under the patriarchy. A deserving future classic and a movie I hope every young girl sees.

The best feminist film in decades perhaps (though lacking in its critiques of capitalism and somewhat queerphobic.) An invitation to authenticity in a plastic world. But remember, simply *critiquing aloud* and voting/constituting a new sovereignty is not enough, perhaps even counterrevolutionary. We must go further.

Overall, it's a really fun time, although the movie does have a lot of heart, and there are moments where Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and America Ferrera really show their acting chops. Great visuals and music, too.

Really good. One of the monologues lacked self-awareness, but otherwise lot of life-enhancing ideas, many good jokes, lovely performances. Gosling really funny, particularly in the dancing

Barbie n'est pas le film léger et déjanté que vous pensiez, c'est un pur produit sectaire revendiqué, qui jette des seaux de merde sur les hommes du début à la fin. Ryan Gosling est la caution sexiste du film. Greta Gerwing, et son mari ont utilisé l'image de Barbie pour parasiter les esprits des enfants, et nous faisant croire à nous les adultes, que nous passeront un bon moment avec deux acteurs excellents. Tromperie totale, et curieusement diffamant pour les femmes. Pourquoi tant de haine ?

Reassuring to see that the film was self aware and it was enjoyably camp and full of recognisable British talent - the story outside of Barbie land was lacking in the majority with some moments of redemption.

This movie met all my expectations with its great attention to detail, well-crafted sets, costumes, and music. While the story follows a predictable path, it brilliantly captures the essence of the Barbie world. The presentation of gender equality is both bold and self-aware, offering a satirical take from various perspectives. It effectively exposes the absurdity of sexism. The film appeals to a wide audience, which is uncommon for most feminist content. Definitely lives up to the hype!

Some nice cultural references and a well-intentioned movie, but I'm not sure it ultimately fell on the right side of crass commercialism. Not actually enough character depth is explored, we waste a lot of time on slapstick/adventure setpieces (Will Ferrell absolute didn't need to be in this movie). The musical numbers and set design were some of the best parts though.

This movie is a weird Rorschach test. First of all it's supposed to be a silly funny movie, I didn't think it was that funny. I thought it was philosophical. It both asserts a patriarchy, shows how bad it is, but also how it doesn't actually exist. It plays both sides of the political spectrum. I think the end is an apolitical, pro-human happy end. It was oddly homeric.

I can't believe I forgot to rank this until now. I saw it back in theatres when it came out. I thought it was a lot of fun, I enjoyed the humor and how bright everything was. I thought the story was good as well. The cast was very entertaining.

Barbie is a brilliantly funny and incisive satire that cleverly tackles themes of gender roles, identity, consumerism, and societal expectations. It's a thought-provoking and entertaining experience that resonates on multiple levels, and is the best movie of 2023.

It's ironic that the main message here seems to be about the fundamental good of motherhood. I'd also point out that ideas - more specifically generals - are always more important than any person (despite what this film depicts).

Had to think about this for awhile. It’s very HFCS. Very mainstream & artificial, but also genuinely funny at times, well acted, and the aesthetics & concepts are pretty grand.
