I really wanted to like the movie, and I totally enjoyed the first third of it, until it turned into a lecture on patriarchy. Women are portrayed as infinitely oppressed people who can't do anything except for crying about their existence.

Don't get me wrong, I expected it to be about feminism and empowerment, but not that awfully straightforward about it.

I could've been a great movie. A 10/10 movie, but it feels like the authors just hate men so much, they can't think of anything else.

I also feel sorry for all female executives at Mattel. The board of directors is portrayed as oppressively male-only, to maintain the narrative.

To sum up, you gonna love it if you want to feel sad and oppressed about being a woman. Not so much if you just like Barbies and want to have a good time.
