It is a very good movie, a great movie! The actors are great, the film's making is very good in general.

I like the diversity of important topics discussed in the movie: growing up and changing from girl/boy to woman/man; importance of woman and man (matriarchy vs. Patriarchy); friendship; racial and sexual diversity; ageing; dying; capitalism; unhappy love (poor Ken :), etc. Probably, this complexity of topics distracts us from enjoying this great movie to the full? That is why it has a somewhat low rating?

But otherwise, the movie is very entertaining; there are a lot of nice jokes, beautiful scenes, too.

My daughter had the Barbie couple of decades ago. Their relations were great and perfect! :)
