I was mostly expecting a fun comedy but this turned out to be such a superb meta monster, the likes of which I hadn't seen since original Deadpool movie... And then the cast, script & visuals of Barbie went farther into some insightful, biting & modern thematic territories.

Ms Robbie & Mr Gosling shine exceptionally well and play flawlessly together. Hell, all the cast is sublime. I usually dislike Mr Farrell's antics but even they worked perfectly here. This has rightfully become the box-office king of the year (So far at least) and I truly hope it can also shine during the awards season. I know it's hard to include something called freaking Barbie among the end of the year awards / prestige selections but goddammit, this Barbie DESERVES it.
