Zana Gabco

I could see the script when it came to the drab performances of Ethan and Julia.. neither one fully encapsulating their characters… however.. there was a burst of authenticity and genuine acting skills delivered by the haughty house owner’s daughter ..who stole every scene she was in.. her inner life putting the other seasoned actors to shame.. As for the desperate attempt to leave the audience wanting more through the use of its frozen molasses storytelling.. So much more could have been done .. The movie should been a limited Netflix series instead of what it was—- sheer disappointment.

The movie starts strong.. we get a real glimpse into Barbie and her reality… however.. without a substantial storyline, there is only one place a movie like this can go.. into nonsensical avenues that can only be saved by the strong acting skills of its characters. I would have liked to have seen much less dancing—- especially when the Kens do their angry number—- and more interaction between Ken and Barbie… and funnier lines from “Weird Barbie”. Barbie did not satisfy my movie craving..

It didn’t seem complete. I found it to be long and boring.
