Barbie

Stereotypical Barbie wakes up in Barbieland with a thought she is not supposed to have, and the thought follows her into the world that makes the dolls. Gerwig plays the plastic as a system: every job is held by a Barbie, and Ken’s job is Barbie. Margot Robbie has to be the doll and the person who notices the doll. Ryan Gosling’s Ken discovers patriarchy like a new outfit. The Warner Bros. trailer is the beach and the car. The film is the speech in the Mattel office and what she does after it.
