The reviews are in for Warner Bros.' much-ballyhooed Barbie movie. Based on the Mattel fashion dolls, the film teams director and co-writer Greta Gerwig with stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling for an adventure that finds Barbie and Ken leaving Barbie Land in search of self-discovery in the real world. Since filming began in 2022, Barbie has been one of the most discussed movies in recent memory, with viral set photos and trailers generating an insane amount of hype online.

They are overwhelmingly positive and praising the movie as a fun and entertaining romp, though they also point out how surprisingly profound it is.
What The Barbie Reviews Reveal About The Movie The Barbie movie's overwhelmingly positive reviews shouldn't be surprising considering Greta Gerwig's short, but superb resume as a filmmaker. Before Barbie, she wrote and directed two films, Lady Bird and 2019's Little Women, both of which were overwhelming critical successes.
Perhaps the Barbie movie's most incredible achievement is that it's a feminist battle cry about a doll that has been criticized for promoting unrealistic beauty standards and considered diametrically opposed to the cause. However, even amongst all the focus on feminism and Barbie, many reviews mention that Ryan Gosling's Ken steals the show. Now that the critics have spoken, audiences will be able to see and form their opinions about the Barbie movie starting on July 21.
