Review: "Barbie" - The Film that will Save Hollywood

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 00:26:03 GMT

Barbie will undoubtedly stand out as one of the greatest cinematic works of this year, this decade, this century...perhaps even all time. We are all Barbie Girls living in Greta Gerwig's Barbie World, and we couldn't be happier. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will make you adore Ryan Gosling in a way you never thought possible. From powerful monologues delivered brilliantly by American Ferrera, dream sequence theatre ballads featuring Ken Dolls en pointe, Margot Robbie's unmatched ability to drop the heaviest single tear, and one of the greatest final scenes ever written/delivered. This movie HAS...IT...ALL.
