Our take on Barbie

Greta Gerwig's 2023 adventure comedy drops Barbie and Ken from the bright, seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land into the real world, where they discover both the joys and the perils of living among humans. Playful and fantastical on the surface, it uses that fish-out-of-water setup to poke at identity and expectation while staying breezy and colorful. It suits viewers open to a splashy, self-aware comedy that mixes big design, sight gags and a sincere streak beneath the gloss. If you want an inventive, good-humored fantasy that has more on its mind than its candy palette suggests, Barbie is bright, brisk and easy to enjoy with a crowd.
