About the Event
To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you're a Ken.
Peter Travers ABC News: "Even when Greta Gerwig trips on her ambition to make this hot-pink fantasia more than the fun party of summer, you cheer her refusal to play it safe as she turns Robbie’s doubt-plagued Barbie and Gosling’s clueless Ken into a match made in movie heaven."
David Sims The Atlantic: "Combining the meta jokiness with a heap of motivational sincerity is no easy task, but Barbie is a very charming success.
Christy LeMire RogerEbert.com: ""Barbie," director and co-writer Greta Gerwig’s summer splash, is a dazzling achievement, both technically and in tone. It’s a visual feast that succeeds as both a gleeful escape and a battle cry."
Richard Roeper. Chicago Sun-Times: "This is a truly original work -- one of the smartest, funniest, sweetest, most insightful and just plain flat-out entertaining movies of the year."
Justin Chang Los Angeles Times: "Robbie takes an archetype long dismissed as an airheaded caricature and, moment by deeply felt moment, teases and fleshes her out."
