Review of Barbie (2023) by Brooklynbradtk — 08 Aug 2023

This is genuinely an eye opening experience of a film. The first half of the movie genuinely made me laugh on multiple occasions, something that I find very rare in cinema experiences, even from some of my favourite movies. I went into the film thinking that it would be a little corny and maybe even a hard watch, but it exceeded all of my expectations. In all categories I found it exceptional, it was serious in some sections, but lighthearted and funny in others, the different emotions were spread perfectly throughout the film, it never felt jarring or forced. The set and character design was also perfectly executed, with every choice feeling deliberate and only feeling out of place when intended by the film makers. The characters conveyed the message of the movie subtly and beautifully, giving each character a distinct style.

For the overall message of the film, it is beautifully conveyed and as such it is powerful. This movie was one of the most relatable and empowering movies I have seen. Overall this was a beautifully executed film, if you think it might be too silly or poorly executed, watch it and see for yourself, I highly recommend it.

I know this review may sound like a joke, but I am dead serious, this is a wondrous movie and you should watch it if you have even the slightest interest in seeing it.
