Barbie is an iconic name in toys. “Barbie” is also a great movie that Greta Gerwig made. In this movie, you find a loaded cast of very familiar faces. Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as her companion, Ken give stellar performances that tug at your heartstrings in this movie. America Ferrera and Kate McKinnon add such strong supporting performances too. I also have to mention Will Ferrell who plays a kind of bad guy.

This movie blurs the line between the fantasy of Barbieland and the real world where you find Mattel Toys the maker of Barbie. It’s a movie about discovering who you are, who you can be, and fairness for everyone. But the part of this story I liked was female empowerment in that any girl can grow up to be the person of their dreams.

Also, the soundtrack is pretty good too with Academy Award winner Billie Eilish singing “What Was I Made For” a song written for this film.

If you haven’t seen it, do so. This is a film worth your time.
