Barbie 2023

The details in the film are very well done. Mattel takes a beating but can once again rub their hands together, because the "Margot Robbie Barbie doll" seems to be selling well in the meantime.

The dialogues about the patriarchy are hilarious, they were, alongside the occasionally slightly too silly humor, the real highlight of the film. The film would be completely successful if the current CEO of Mattel resigns, a woman of color takes the lead, and no more stereotypical Barbies are made in the future.

A funny moment in the theater: During the credits, a man wearing a pink cowboy hat walked towards the exit and said (clearly annoyed) in our direction, "I wasted two hours of my life," to which the woman walking a meter behind him said to us, "I thought it was a fun film!"
