Great Films Directed by Women: Barbie

Are you KENough for the final film in our Great Motion Pictures Directed by Women series? Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (2023) was many things: an absurdist phantasmagoria, a cultural moment, a Mattel-tie-in popular-toy picture, and (perhaps most surprising of all) a truly righteous hail mary of feminist discourse! Perfectly cast, impeccably designed, whip-smart and arrestingly hilarious. Come to be seen, stay for Ryan Gosling’s horse fetish. Dress in pink – there will be a photo booth! Run time: 114 min.
