Barbie is a visually dazzling comedy whose meta humor is smartly complemented by subversive storytelling that challenges current societal norms. To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place – unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken. Now’s your chance to see this unexpected blockbuster (at The Naro, of course!) that is bringing audiences back to movie theaters in droves and has already topped $1 billion in ticket sales, an all-time record for a film directed by a woman, Greta Gerwig. Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken (but not the only Barbie and Ken in the story!) Featuring a stellar ensemble cast that includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, Will Ferrell, John Cena, and Michael Cera. (PG-13, 1h 54m)
“Barbie is a triumph. There’s so much happening in every corner of the frame, yet not so much that Gerwig ever loses focus on the characters populating her madcap realm of nonsensical imagination.” – Sara Michelle Fetters, MovieFreak.com
“Weird and wonderful, it’s one of the funnest and funniest movies ever made – and is brilliantly spearheaded by actress and producer Margot Robbie, along with writer-director Greta Gerwig.” – Charlotte O’Sullivan, London Evening Standard
“This is a truly original work — one of the smartest, funniest, sweetest, most insightful and just plain flat-out entertaining movies of the year.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
