EARLY ACCESS: Barbie FULL REACTION (Patreon)
Content
Barbie Directed by Greta Gerwig and written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, the film stars Margot Robbie as Barbie, a stereotypical doll who lives in Barbieland, a utopian society where all women are successful and confident. However, when she suffers an existential crisis, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes her to the real world, where she meets new friends, challenges stereotypes, and learns to embrace her true self.
This had a stacked cast, with Robbie delivering as Barbie. She captures the innocence, optimism, and enthusiasm of the character, while also showing her vulnerability, confusion, and growth. Ryan Gosling is hilarious as Ken. He also has great chemistry with Robbie, as they play off each other’s comedic timing and contrasting personalities. Ryan Gosling we comedic timing is so underrated. A lot of what he did just with he actions and facial expressions were fantastic. The supporting cast is equally impressive, with America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Ariana Greenblatt, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, Helen Mirren, and Will Ferrell adding some humor.
The film's visual aesthetics, including set design and cinematography, craft a vibrant and visually engaging world. Notably, the attention to detail in the set design, costumes, and visual effects is commendable. It's apparent that Greta Gerwig aimed to encompass a wide range of elements within the narrative. However, certain comedic moments come across as forced, particularly those involving Will Ferrell and some other moments in the film. These instances feel like they don't quite hit the mark in terms of humor for us. Additionally, the film explores various tones, which may lead to diverse opinions among viewers. Overall, not bad. We are looking forward to your thoughts and what your reaction was to Barbie.
