![]() ![]() There’s no genuine feeling to it - as if it was written by a Twitter algorithm. “Barbie” is a feminist fantasy that paints men as the “problem” in society, and it all feels like a little too much. By then, she’s already juggled multiple twists and turns, some inspired, others falling flat, but her empty disdain for the “patriarchy,” a word mentioned almost a dozen times, does her a disservice. She throws everything but the phonebook to assault us with her faux messaging. If I was, somewhat, at first, hooked on the story of Barbie and Ken traveling from Barbieland to the real world, I completely clocked out once Gerwig decided to hammer down a speechifying lesson in the film’s second half.Īnd what a messy last half hour it is. The problem is that Gerwig’s passion for the material is so overwhelming that it blurs her better judgement. But there’s a limit to her blind ambitions. The fact that it only falls apart at the half-way mark is a testament to the way Gerwig can deftly balance satirical comedy. ![]() This is a messy and convoluted film, filled with so many ideas and themes that it threatens to derail at any moment. Hell, there’s even an all-Barbie Supreme Court. Her film, set in Barbieland, a utopia for strong women, and with men, all second fiddles named Ken, overreaches to the nth degree. If she had shown hints of brilliance as an actress and director, Gerwig has officially lost the plot. Yes, they’ve made something political out of the blonde-haired, pink-dressed doll. You won’t believe what Gerwig and her Barbie (Margot Robbie) get away with in this joyously over-the-top meta feminist manifesto. It’s also incredibly self-absorbed in its own virtues. A completely new Group Finder tool is another fresh feature included with ‘ Issue #2: Digging Deeper’.You’ve got to hand it to Greta Gerwig, her “Barbie” is one of the weirdest and most audacious big studio summer movies I’ve ever seen, and that turns out to be a good and bad thing.
