Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling excel in Greta Gerwig’s brash take on the iconic doll.
For someone who’s 11½ inches tall and weighs under 8 ounces, poor Barbie’s had to carry an awfully heavy load over the years on that slender, plastic back of hers.
Which is why it makes sense that now, writer-director Greta Gerwig takes Barbie in more than one direction — in every direction, really — in her brash, clever, idea-packed and most of all, eye-poppingly lovely “Barbie,” the brand’s first live action movie. Other Barbies? Well, we know how many Barbie versions exist on store shelves, and Gerwig and her writing partner Noah Baumbach take this one step further: If they’re all Barbies, that means “Barbie” is all of THEM. There’s no one Barbie — although Robbie, who plays Stereotypical Barbie , is the focal point.
Speaking of dancing, one night at Barbie’s “giant blowout party,” she suddenly starts thinking about … death. The next morning she has bad breath, and OMG, her famously arched feet go flat! Also gravity happens, so she falls off her house.
