Words cannot express how happy I am that the high expectations I had due to the hype were more than fulfilled. The story is beautiful, the execution makes it brilliant. I really felt the joy and energy that everyone put in to make this possible. Margot makes a perfect Barbie, but Ryan's Ken is just perfection. I really hope they will get showered with awards and recognition!

The attention to detail is stunning. The movie often shows such iconic elements that kids that played with Barbies immediately recognize. In my opinion they did a great job on balancing the fact that they are dolls, but they are still played by real people.

Some points of critique: at times the pace felt rushed, for my mother depending on subtitles combined with the visual pace, it was not always easy for her to follow. I was expecting a lot more fashion from Barbie, it seemed that Ken was more in focus on serving the looks. Some musical numbers dragged a bit too long.

But still I give it a 10!
