Being alone doesn't mean you're lonely, sometimes all you need is someone to talk to, regardless if it's a real person or a computer. This film will slowly creep into you, it feels like you're watching yourself and listening to your subconscious mind.
Greta Gerwig had a matured take on this childhood fantasy concept that pierces through the adult's heart. Barbie unravels the facade of multiple gender revolutionism over the years, which technically never solved the underlying problems within ourselves and the society. Just like other films created by Gerwig (ie Lady Bird and Little Women), this film focuses on women empowerment and eventually how women rise above adversities. It's not your typical Barbie film but expect that it resonates the kind of visuals you will see in those films - fabulous production sets and costumes, toy-like backdrops and flying glitters. Screenwriting was spot on and well-thought of, making it very relevant to most people, specially those having an existential crisis. Musical score suits the film very well although I didn't quite like the transitions from one scene to another as I felt like it was done very abruptly. Nonetheless, this film taught me that I am kenough and I can be who ever I wanted to be, as any Barbie should be.
I tried remembering any memorable or impactful scene from the movie but nothing retained in my mind. Feel good if you like cheesy-LGBTQ films. Cinematography sucks since some of the background used in the scenes were just CGI and it's very noticeable. Soundtrack was unexceptional as well. They tried to be relevant and wanted to resonate the current pressing issues in the LGBTQ community, which made me score this a little bit higher than I initially wanted to.
Jennifer Lawrence carried this entire film on her shoulders. Great acting and performance from her, as usual. This is just your typical, nothing extraordinary comedy film but I enjoyed watching it nonetheless. Funny scenes felt natural and not forced.
