The “Barbie” movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and co-written with Noah Baumbach, is a 2023 fantasy comedy that became a cultural phenomenon and a blockbuster hit. The film, starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, explores the duo’s journey of self-discovery through both Barbieland and the real world, sparked by an existential crisis faced by Barbie. The supporting cast includes notable names such as America Ferrera, Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell​​.
The storyline delves into Barbie and Ken’s adventures after being ousted from Barbieland due to Barbie’s existential crisis, leading them to confront and challenge the unrealistic beauty standards and societal expectations imposed on women. As they navigate the real world, the film humorously and poignantly comments on gender roles, empowerment, and the quest for identity, all set against a visually stunning backdrop that’s both a nod to the iconic doll’s legacy and a critique of its implications​​​​.
Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Barbie captures the character’s essence with a balance of satire and sincerity, showcasing her journey from a symbol of perfection to a character of depth and complexity. Ryan Gosling’s Ken provides a comedic yet insightful look into male stereotypes, complementing the film’s exploration of gender dynamics​​.
With a $128–145 million budget, “Barbie” achieved monumental success, grossing $1.446 billion worldwide. It became the highest-grossing film of 2023 and the 14th highest-grossing film of all time. The film premiered at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on July 9, 2023, and was released in the United States on July 21. Its release, alongside Universal’s “Oppenheimer,” led to the “Barbenheimer” cultural phenomenon, encouraging audiences to enjoy both films as a double feature​​​​.
“Barbie” has received critical acclaim for its creativity, storytelling, and the performances of its cast, earning it a place among the top 10 films of 2023 by the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute. It also received eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and won two Golden Globe Awards​​.
