Saw #Barbie today. I think I’m going to have to watch it again.
It’s… weird and sometimes beautiful, angry and compassionate, in service to Mammon and yet gleefully anti-corporate, whip-smart and funny and has one absolute killer line that had me in stitches… I’m just not sure yet whether it *works*.
I think I might have just watched the highest-grossing cult film in history.
More #Barbie thoughts:
All the performances are great, but the obsession with with Ryan Gosling’s performance is a bit weird. First, he’s great actor and he can play an emotionally stunted man with unresolved issues in his sleep. Second, the film is SLAPPING YOU IN THE FACE with men focussing on each other’s achievements to the exclusion of the women around them, and, for pity’s sake, MARGOT ROBBIE IS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU. She utterly inhabits Barbie in all her modes. She’s amazing.
