Review of Barbie (2023) by Jamiep88 — 23 Jul 2023

I'm suspicious that all the reviews on the user section are as polarised as they are, with this saying much more about society than it does the film. I think the truthful score is somewhere in the middle- it's a very well-made film with respect to cinematography, scriptwriting, acting, dancing, singing etc.

.. And I happen to think most of the central feminism points are very well argued and delivered. I agree with those in the comments who mention that there's no need to do this at the expense of men as the film does, although anyone who argues against the need for a feminist film probably needs to look no further than half the comments in red and the way many of them (certainly not all) speak to or about women.
