All the leaked set photos in the world could never have prepared us for Margot Robbie as Barbie through a Stanley Kubrick lens.
, it’s likely the film could be as delightfully fluffy and functionally unfulfilling as cotton candy.But I also believe Gerwig’s too smart to take on a consumer product-driven property without a biting point of view, or at least an acknowledgment of the dystopian fantasy that is Barbie’s beauty, proportions, and apparent vapidity. There’s a feminist lens in Gerwig’s toolbox, and I’m hoping she employs it in an irreverent, tongue-in-cheek fashion.
Then again, pretty things sell, and I do enjoy pretty movies. I only hope this particular pretty movie will comment on whoto be pretty, and how Barbie herself left a lot of little girls feeling very un-glamourous indeed.
