There is a lot of textual critique of patriarchy and critique of capitalism and critique of Mattel. But, you know, like Bedatri, I feel conflicted about everything it's trying to say. I think Margot Robbie is surprisingly poignant in this movie, which you kind of will understand better, I think, once you've seen it. I think they executed it with enormous panache in terms of the production design. LINDA HOLMES, BYLINE: I had so much fun at this movie. So they do manage to make the ride a lot of fun. You might as well stop writing about films.ĪISHA HARRIS, BYLINE: That's a great point.ĬHOUDHURY: Yeah. Like, the first thing I thought when I came out of the theater was, is it camp? And that for me as a culture journalist and film critic is the most horrific question because if it's camp and you don't get it, that's, like, the worst thing. And, like, I'd love to talk more about this with you guys. THOMPSON: How do you mean doesn't sit very well?ĬHOUDHURY: I don't know. But it's still, like - it doesn't sit very well, but in a very fun way. What did you think of "Barbie"?īEDATRI D CHOUDHURY: Oof. "Barbie" was directed by Greta Gerwig, who also directed "Lady Bird" and "Little Women," and it was written by Gerwig and her partner, Noah Baumbach. STEPHEN THOMPSON, BYLINE: There are loads of jokes, loads of pink sets, loads of needle drops and original songs and loads of whatever is going on with Ryan Gosling's hair. Stephen Thompson, Linda Holmes, Aisha Harris talked about it with film critic and journalist Bedatri D. And we're asking them if the movie truly lives up to the hype. The movie comes out today, but our friends at NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour got a peek. MARTIN: So she sets out on a journey from Barbie Land to the real world in a quest for, well, meaning.
ROBBIE: (As Barbie) You guys ever think about dying? And so is tomorrow and every day from now until forever. MARGOT ROBBIE: (As Barbie) It is the best day ever. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: (As character) This is the best day ever.
But trouble arises when Barbie - the one played by Robbie - has an existential crisis. As if you somehow missed this news, we're talking about the film starring Margot Robbie as one of many Barbies and Ryan Gosling as one of many Kens living among a lot of pink in Barbie Land.
