it’s absolutely impossible for me to be impartial about this movie because tfios pretty much defined the entirety of my adolescence and also made me wanna be a writer so know that i am rating with my heart instead of my head and please respect that ❤️
(boom clap is responsible for at least two and a half of these stars. shailene woodley is the other two)
we all knew barbie was going to be funny. we all knew it’d have something to say about the “female coming-of-age,” as all of greta gerwig’s movies have thus far. and we all knew margot robbie and ryan gosling would turn in note-perfect performances as barbie and ken. and they did.
what i didn’t know was how much barbie would mean - not truly, not fully. how much it would mean to me, to the women sitting to my left…
