I had high hopes for this movie. The director of "Barbie" is, in my opinion, a pretty high caliber filmmaker. I hoped that she would be able to make the movie both beautiful and funny from the visual point of view, and at the same time be able to give the movie a subtle, deep meaning. And the movie succeeded in the former. It's funny, it's witty, it's beautiful!

As for the meaning behind the work, there are already hints in the first half of the movie that Gerwig wanted to and could subtly comment on the social structure of the modern world. That the film would criticize and at the same time reveal all sides of the problem. True, life is an ambiguous thing, there is neither pure good nor absolute evil..... Oh, where am I going with this? This movie is not worth the effort. In the second half, the movie turns into a primitive agitation with a simple idea of "men are bad, and all women are oppressed, so girl, get up, we'll show them all".... Okay, actually, if there is a large audience of people who want to hear such thoughts. If there are those who care (and they do) - then such a work has a right to exist. But. The thing is that in the end we have a fanfic praising some people and belittling others, a work for a specific audience. And, on the one hand, it's great, it's wonderful that there's something that brings someone joy. But for me, on the other hand, it is absolutely useless, uninteresting to watch such a movie that ridicules men and belittles them. It's... wrong. I expected to see a smarter, deeper work, a meta-view of all sides of the issue. But apparently, modern audiences won't be able to understand such a product, they need to be shown something simple. Alas.
