Barbie, with a surprising amount of political undertones, will probably be one of the most surprising releases of 2023.

The movie showcases both sides of the coin, hyper-femininity and hyper-masculinity, with subtle jabs and character realisations throughout the entire film without becoming exhausting.

It's undeniable that Barbie is a female empowerment movie but it's one that everyone can get behind.

My only disappointments is that Micheal Cera got a marginal amount of screen time despite being the comedic punching bag, and it would of been nice to spend a little more time in Barbieland.

Everyone will have their own take on this screenplay, and it might take a few viewings to understand the messages that the film is trying to provide to the viewer, but by no means is this movie bad.
