They were right when they said the Barbie movie is not what you think it is. It is a movie you have to read into and it is weird. But it is also beautifully about so many things and it knows who its audience is. A treat if you know the Barbie doll history as well. Greta Gerwig did an amazing job with the movie. Also, Ken's struggle is very realistic and although drastic I do not blame him at all.
It is definitely not for kids but if you liked "Everything, Everywhere all at Once" you're gonna love Barbie.
It's the most loving and honest farewell you could ever give to a dying doll. It is a Masterpiece and could be A Magnum Opus.
