Finally watched 'Barbie'.
I understand its success with people (read cis-women) who are not necessarily active or educated when it comes to feminist issues. It's a good conversation starter but nothing more.

I'm not the only one pointing out the problems: 'Barbieland' version of feminism excluding men, men enjoying patriarchy as if toxic masculinity didn't exist (blink & you won't get the 1 line when Allan complains about it), to defeat patriarchy you have to manipulate men bc they're incapable of empathy for women's struggle...
It's a very binary movie & pretty 'corporate' in its vision of feminism. It's a Mattel production, they clearly avoided anything related to actual sexuality, periods, gender...

As for Gosling's Best Actor nomination it's a fucking joke.
Not his fault, Kens' characters are awfully written: 'Be good looking & mentally limited because that's what men are ha ha ha'.
Even Will Ferrel's character has more emotional range and depth, not to mention Robbie's.

But does Barbie (2023) pass the Bechdel test?
