Barbie wasn't supposed to be that deep but it was. Greta Gerwig must have wielded a pen that ignites to write this story down with so much boldness, creativity, and awareness that no one could ever imagine for an already perfect plastic to deserve.

It wasn't a surprise Margot Robbie could kill this role and make us all believe she was born for this because she was. She is my favorite actress after all. She led the film as perfectly as her Barbie but it was Ryan Gosling that took me by surprise with how much he embodied kenergy that came so explosive like some atomic bomb designed by some civilian scientist (pun intended). Then there's America Ferrera (watch out for the scenes that earned her the "heart of the film" ribbon) and the scene Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For" was made for. (If I were to predict with all confidence who's bagging an Oscar nomination? It's Billie for Original Song.)

Barbie indeed subverted expectations and stereotypes. And I hate that it worked, that's why I loved it.
