film is, on the surface, a work of endlessly giddy fun – an effervescent, colourful tapestry of joyous girl power and knowing self-referential jibes. But beneath this glittering, Pantone pink surface, there is an unmistakable darkness.
In Gerwig's film, depression and mental ill health are presented as being simply part and parcel of being a 'real' woman. We are, she seems to say, all a bit depressed. The film follows Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie. Her life in Barbie Land takes a turn when the girl playing with her develops complex feelings that seep into Barbie's own psyche, giving her irrepressible thoughts of death, messy hair and – gasp – flat feet. Barbie travels to the Real World. There, she meets Real Women, discovers Real Problems and has a few Real Feelings.
