Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ is finally available to watch on Netflix
Greta Gerwig’s 2023 blockbuster sensation Barbie is officially streaming on Netflix.
Starring Margot Robbie as the iconic Mattel doll and Ryan Gosling as the charming Ken, Gerwig’s fantasy epic is now officially available for users of the streaming giant to experience the wonderful world of Barbie Land once more.
Of course, in this particular story, all is well and good until Barbie begins to question her reality, which causes her perfect world to begin falling apart. Then, her inability to believe the ideation exposes the cracks in her seemingly idealistic world until she is urged to venture out and find answers for herself.
Featuring an all-star cast, including America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Dua Lipa, Will Ferrell, and narrator Helen Mirren, Barbie was hailed by many as the best and more culturally significant movie of 2023, surpassing its fan-made rival Oppenheimer, due to its overt feminist themes and critique of modern Western culture.
When McKinnon’s ‘Weird Barbie’ challenges Margot’s bombshell, saying, “You can go back to your regular life and forget any of this ever happened, or you can know the truth about the universe,” Barbie soon heads to Los Angeles to discover her own identity and experience the real world and all its unjust, problematic realities. This pivotal moment sets Barbie on a journey of empowerment, growth, and questioning the ideals she was built to represent.
Barbie adds to the growing list of Robbie’s movies available to stream on Netflix, which became particularly expansive this year after several of her films were added to the platform for audiences to enjoy. These include I, Tonya, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, The Wolf Of Wall Street, Suicide Squad, Birds Of Prey, Suite Francaise, Bombshell, and others.
However, the latest Barbie addition will surely captivate users more than the rest over the coming weeks, with its unique blend of nostalgia and cultural resonance, topped off by Margot’s iconic portrayal and witty humour, alongside Gerwig’s themes of empowerment and captivating visuals.
