Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is a cinematic marvel that’s as delightfully enchanting as it is shockingly earnest. For a movie about a ton of perfect plastic dolls, Barbie gets far deeper than most audiences can imagine and takes you on a fantastical feminist journey that mirrors an all-too-real life that we’re all familiar with. Tackling issues of feminism, patriarchy, and the very idea of what a perfect women should be, Gerwig and her longtime writing collaborator/husband Noah Baumbach weave many sneaky reflections of our real world within this “perfect” Barbieland world.
