Barbie: “Lovely and Funny,” this summer comedy with first impressions

Summer will be pink and cheerful. In any case, this is what the trailers for Barbie indicate, a film dedicated to the famous doll, starring Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. A bet that, if it raised more than one eyebrow in production, appears to be successful based on early reviews in the US.

If the humor seen in the trailers is there, the background is clearly not left out. Because several critics emphasize the feminist discourse developed by the director (also co-screenwriter) and the cleverness of his words. Without forgetting the beauty of her sets and costumes.

“I can’t officially leave Twitter without telling you that Barbie is my favorite movie of the year. Greta Gerwig, in a way, exceeded my expectations. She points out the pros and cons of Barbie beautifully. And give it to Ryan Gosling. Oscar nomination, I’m serious!”

“Barbie hits the spot. Greta Gerwig delivers a nuanced discourse on what it means to be a woman in a whimsical, wonderful and hilarious farce. The entire cast shines, especially Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in roles they were clearly born to play.” )

“Barbie got me, and in the best possible way. It’s funny, bombastic and very clever. Greta Gerwig hit the barriers and took it home. Margot Robbie’s performance is brilliant. Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu Give us pure entertainment. The whole cast is brilliant.”

“I saw a Barbie! The level of craftsmanship is amazing! Especially the costumes and sets, done with a high level of craftsmanship that adds to the feeling of seeing a real Barbie, bringing their dream homes and worlds to life.”

“However, I’m a bit more mixed on the plot. The film serves Margot Robbie’s Barbie and her journey very well, but there are other characters whose important arcs deserved more screen time to be dug out and fully explored.”)

“Barbie is witty, honest, and sometimes downright funny! Ryan Gosling steals the scenes and gets plenty of laughs, and Margot Robbie’s heartfelt performance will tug at your heartstrings. While I mostly enjoyed the movie, the script felt bloated at times.” )

“Barbie is everything you could ever hope for. She strips away the superficial doll we all grew up with and shows Kenny to be more than an asset as she discovers her identity.”

“Many of us try to be ‘perfect’ like Barbie, but the movie shows that it’s not always necessary, because even in a ‘perfect world’ we still have flaws and that’s normal. For teenagers and adults who grew up with the brand.”)

“I saw Barbie and Grete Gerwig blow me away, as well as the sets, costumes, hairstyles and make-up. I lived for the dance numbers directed by Simu Liu. It’s super fun, with a feminist twist.”

Your entry to Barbie Land is scheduled for July 19. Or the day before, thanks to the many previews scheduled in France.
