BARBIE FILM. Directed by Greta Gerwig, the film Barbie comes out this Wednesday at the cinema. And it will not be a simple adaptation of the adventures of the doll for children.

Summary

[Mis à jour le 18 juillet 2023 à 09h31] The toy icon will soon become a cinema icon. The film “Barbie” is released in cinemas this Wednesday, July 19, 2023 in France, at the same time as the “Oppenheimer” of Christopher Nolan. And if the second promises to attract an already conquered audience, spectators would be wrong to miss the first.

The announcement of a “Barbie” movie caused some mockery and disinterest from some viewers. But no, this candy pink pop feature film should not only be a film to the glory of the Mattel toy if we are to believe the first reviews. For Maximilien Pierrette of Allociné, “Greta Gerwig takes a modern, adult and feminist look at her childhood and the impact of the famous doll on society, in a very funny and intelligent satire”. An opinion in line with the first returns following the American preview, on July 9 (see below). This comedy therefore seems more aimed at adults than children. In the United States, the film is also not recommended for children under 13, but it is however classified as “all audiences” in France.

And when we look at the genesis of the film “Barbie”, it is not surprising. The film is indeed directed by Greta Gerwig, filmmaker to whom we owe the feminist coming of age “Lady Bird” and “The Daughters of Doctor March”. Here, the director should continue her reflections on the entry into adulthood of young women, since we discover in the trailer for the film that the character played by Margot Robbie finds herself confronted with the real world and with questions existential about his place in the world. It is also difficult to imagine that an actor with such a demanding filmography as Ryan Gosling engage in a “Barbie” movie that has no subtext. As such, the song “What was I made for” unveiled by Billie Eillish before the release, is evocative. We are far from the watered-down candy pink of Barbie, which suggests that the feature film will have more to tell than its title might suggest. We will know more on July 19!

The first spectators and media were able to share their opinions on the film Barbie at a world premiere in Los Angeles on July 9. And these first reviews are almost unanimous: the feature film is the hoped-for success: a user describes it as “sincere and hilarious, entertaining, endearing and magical”. This Week Media uses the qualifier of “triumph”: “a perfect script supported by very good performances from actors, in particular from Ryan Gosling”. “Greta Gerwig has created a film that is not only beautiful to watch, but also poignant, intelligent and hilarious.” For others, the movie Barbie is immediately to be placed in the category of “classics” of cinema.

Some viewers have reservations about the film’s script, especially about the characters who are not sufficiently researched: “Barbie is not the great film I was hoping for in terms of the subjects covered, but it’s still a very well done film. , daring with a very marked touch and vision, so much so that I often wondered how such a film could exist.” In France, it is possible to see Barbie in cinemas from July 19, 2023.
