Well. I didn't know what to expect and I am blown away. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are absolute rock stars in this movie, along with America Ferrera, Helen Mirren as narrator, Rhea Perlman. This movie was beyond all expectations - well, I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. How to articulate the intelligence of the way "feminism" or, in other words, women being strong, motivated and confident is portrayed, amazing. Male actors did their parts extremely well. The movie is beautifully produced. I was around 12 years old when I got my Barbie. A neighbor made handmade clothes for her, and that was awful sweet. Me? Well, I was a tomboy and drew all over Barbie. Adults thrust dolls on me and it just wasn't a fit. Anyway...thanks to the producers for an intelligent, fun and thought-provoking film.
