    Here’s Phil Dy’s review of Barbie on Letterboxd.

    An excerpt of the review

    Here is a movie that asks what it means to be human, filtering that question through the experiences of a doll living in a fantasy world built on the fantasy ideal represented by Barbie: a world of unrealistically beautiful women who can be anything. More specifically, it asks what it means to be a woman, bursting that fantasy ideal as it shuttles off its main character into our world, and discovers that what she thought she represented didn’t seem to mean a whole lot in a world mired in patriarchy.

      Thanks. I expected that naman, given it’s Gerwig. At expected ko din na may commentary sa capitalism, given the characters in suits.

      I just want more 😔
