Barbie (I) (2023)
6/10
A fun movie with a tiny bit of complexity
18 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The film is an enchanting mixture of sitcom, satire on consumer society and philosophy, where they dragged in everything they possibly could: from Pinocchio to the Bible. At the same time, the movie seems like a sketch from a talkshow that parodies cliches associated with the Barbie subculture.

All the most important things happen towards the end, when Barbie faces a dilemma on a universal scale: to remain a doll in an ideal doll world or to become a real ("ordinary") person. There is no single correct choice here. You either live in a delusional bliss or face the harsh reality.

In general, the impression of the film can be expressed in a phrase: they wanted to say a lot of things at once, but along the way they also got lost in their grandiose attempt at philosophy. Nevertheless, the film turned out to be funny. Adults will enjoy reading the philosophical ideas hidden here. And for children there is a bright, dynamic story and several smart ideas presented in understandable language.
