On the nose with so much - wasn't too heavy handed in its representation of fenmisim, the patriarchy or anything along those lines.

However the final third, starting with the war of Ken sent this film into a bit of an anti-climatic ending. Enjoyed it massively up to that point and found it educational without being condisending. As a male especially, to understand the points this film makes it absolutely makes a difference and is eye opening.

The cop out and 'realisation' Barbie makes at the very end is frankly a cop out, going against the trend of the entire film. Was frankly disappointed and felt it just ran out of ideas.

Still Gerwig should be commended for her attempt to turn a Mattel product into a film filled with humour, social conscience, style and at the very least humour.

Just a shame it was so badly let down towards the end.
