‘Dazzling’: Barbie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is a hit with critics
‘My main criticism doesn’t revolve around the subject matter. Regardless of Barbie’s involvement, the film overall falls short. It lacks coherence, has disjointed elements, and the plot lacks real sense — corporate influence stifles its potential.’ – Sarah Vine, Daily Mail
‘Yes, Barbie is enjoyable. Yes, it will make you laugh and provoke thought. However, it won’t revolutionize your life, probably not even your summer, and maybe not even your week.’ – Brian Viner, Daily Mail
‘This is an incredibly innovative piece of work — one of the smartest, funniest, sweetest, most insightful, and downright entertaining movies of the year.’ – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
‘Under Gerwig’s skilled direction, even a film about one of the most popular toys ever manages to defy expectations at every turn. Barbie serves as her mainstream masterpiece, a dazzling dream that resonates with all who watch it.’ – Coleman Spilde, The Daily Beast
‘Both a feminist thesis and a playful romp reminiscent of Austin Powers’ – Chandler Levack, Globe And Mail
‘The eccentricity of Barbie, combined with Gerwig’s critique of the patriarchy, at times makes for a disjointed and tonally inconsistent viewing experience. However, for the most part, she achieves a pleasing balance between the silly and the serious.’ – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
‘A sharp statement concealed within a visually stunning and delightfully silly cinematic treat’ – Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service
‘Beneath all the persistent fuchsia lies a soulful film that possesses both heart and ambition, along with abundant beauty inside and out’ – Tomris Laffly, TheWrap
‘What truly makes this comedy shine are the exceptional performances, starting from the lead role and cascading down. This is the funniest ensemble cast I’ve seen in quite some time.’ – Peter Howell, Toronto Star
‘It’s a wonderfully enjoyable watch that simultaneously celebrates and satirizes the Barbie brand, combining feminism with girly aesthetics like gorpcore sandals paired with a flowy pink skirt.’ – Alice Saville, Time Out
‘Robbie takes an archetype that has long been dismissed as an airheaded caricature and skillfully teases out its depth and complexity, moment by heartfelt moment.’ – Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
