Last year’s hit biopic, the one that did not win the awards, Barbie spins a tale of existential crisis, dress sense, and the color pink. Margot Robbie stars and the film also has Ryan Gosling as Ken. Directed by Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird), written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, photographed by Rodrigo Prieto (Killers of the Flower Moon), and costumed by Jacqueline Curran (Little Women). “Somehow Gerwig has struck a balance between unhinged whimsy, deep humanity and comedic bliss. It’s funny, it will make you cry and it feels almost like a rebellion. It’s so meta and undercutting, in fact, that you can’t help but wonder: How did Gerwig get away with this? … Gerwig’s ultimate messages about the complexity of being a woman, the problems created by the patriarchy and finding value in the ephemeral nature of existence are powerful, but she delivers them with sincere joy. Barbie is a true feel-good movie. The only thing it seeks to destroy is cynicism” — Emily Zemler, Observer
