Review of Barbie (2023) by Odie Henderson for Boston Globe — 18 Jul 2023
Barbie knows it can be construed as a giant Mattel commercial. Look at how it highlights Barbie’s outfits by having them stop in midair for product identification, or how even the discontinued Barbies have houses in Barbie Land.
That self-awareness is part of the charm, along with the clever way the plot unfolds and the genuine love Gerwig has for her characters.
