One of the most anticipated movies of 2023, Barbie opens in 10 days in Brazilian cinemas and has already had its first reviews released, and the production directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie was highly praised by critics.

Joseph Deckelmeierof Screen Rant. “Greta Gerwig points at the fences and hits a home run. the performance of Margot Robbie it’s great and Ryan Gosling It is Simu Liu are pure fun! The entire cast is brilliant!”
Already Sharonda Williamsof Rotten Tomatoestook the opportunity to exalt the performance of the couple of protagonists, but mentioned some problems in the narrative: “Barbie it’s witty, heartfelt, and downright fun at times.

While I enjoyed most of the movie, the script feels bloated at times.
journalist from collider, Perri Nemiroff praised the artistic direction part, “in particular, the costume and production design include a high level of work that contributes greatly to creating the feeling that these are truly Barbiestheir dream homes and their worlds come to life,” while also citing some flaws in the script:
As for the story, that’s where I’m a little more confused. I think the film serves the Barbie in Margot Robbie and their journey especially well, but there are other characters experiencing major arcs that needed more screen time to really dig in and explore to the fullest.
About that, Ty Coleof African-American Film Critics Association (African American Film Critics Association), reflected on the meaning of the plot of Barbie. “Many of us strive to be “perfect” like Barbiebut the film will show that you don’t always have to be so perfect, because even in a “perfect world”, we still have flaws and that’s okay,” he said. “It’s for teens and adults who grew up with the franchise.”
Finally, Carla Renatacriticism of Rotten Tomatoesthere were no complaints: “Greta Gerwig got me all emotional as well as the production design, costume, hair and makeup! I was living for dance numbers led by Simu Liu! It’s over-the-top fun with a feminist edge.”

I have seen #Barbie! The craftsmanship is incredible. In particular the costume & production design includes next-level work that heavily contributes to creating the feeling that these truly are Barbies, their dream houses, and their worlds come to life.

A lot of us strive to be “perfect” like Barbie, but the film will show you don’t always have to be so perfect, because even in a “perfect world,” we still have flaws and that’s okay. It’s for teens and an adult crowd who grew up with the franchise. #BarbieTheMovie / #BarbieMoviehttps://t.co/7zKttIdhyxpic.twitter.com/P51xEEyIXR
