Barbie: A Feminist Tale

Monologue continues to leave a lasting impression. Saturated in hot pink and camouflaged in a flamboyant frivolity, Greta Gerwig 's ' Barbie : A Feminist Tale' is an instant feminist classic. It's clever and hilarious and flirts with silliness just enough; aesthetically, it's like bubblegum for the eyes, but as I sat in the theatre last July and stared up at this incredible cast of women, my heart burned in my chest.

If you are one of the exceptionally small number of people yet to watch it, the bare bones of the plot tracks Margot Robbie – 'Stereotypical Barbie' – as she and Ryan Gosling's Ken leave Dreamland behind in order to restore some order to their perfect lives. Ken — manufactured to be arm candy and little to nothing more – discovers what the patriarchy is, brings the good word back to the other Kens, and chaos naturally ensues. America Ferrera plays the character of Gloria, a real-life, human Mattel employee, and mother to a jaded teen
