Directed by Greta Gerwig, Barbie also stars Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Issa Rae and Will Ferrell. Following her expulsion from Barbieland, the heroine enters the human world on a journey of self-discovery with her boyfriend, Ryan Gosling’s Kane.
According to News18 Review’s review of Barbie, “The dialogues and the screenplay are Barbie’s biggest superpowers. Greta makes several pop culture references, thus adapting the meta narration, which helps Barbie take things up a notch. She takes digs at the Margot Robbie-style of Er-Bridge’s comedy.”
