Barbie review: Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig's visual confection plays a little too much like an advertisement

ABC  

Traditional tentpoles just aren't cashing in anymore. Interview: Greta Gerwig on RN's The Screen Show Photo shows The director Greta Gerwig, actors Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in cowgirl/boy outfits all standing and laughing At the centre of it all is Stereotypical Barbie, who wakes each morning to a cheery chorus of greetings from her peers. Barbie's world is crumbling: Suddenly, her milk is "expired", her once-arched soles are flat, and she has developed – quelle horreur! Beyond the hype: Your guide to Barbie Photo shows The actor Margot Robbie in a pink dress and long blonde hair playing the character Barbie in the movie, standing in a pink set It's produced by Margot Robbie, directed by Greta Gerwig and stars Issa Rae as President Barbie — and it's become a cultural moment before it even opens in cinemas. The contrarian adolescent Sasha and her mother Gloria – Barbie's human owners – are so thinly sketched that they remain little more than ciphers for great tides of public opinion.
