Midweek Movie: Barbie

Writer-director Greta Gerwig’s cinematic reinvention of Mattel’s most infamous toy finds the titular character residing in a pastel pink haven where 'thanks to Barbie, all problems of feminism and equal rights have been solved' - Welcome to Barbieland! However, when this habitually smiley creature finds herself haunted by thoughts of sadness, anxiety and death, she embarks upon a riotous journey of self-discovery to the Real World accompanied by stowaway sidekick, Ken.
With great direction and a smart script, Margot Robbie is a candy-coloured triumph, with Ryan Gosling fantastically vacuous as Ken.
You wear the pink clothes, we'll supply the pink drinks!
