Barbie

2023

Greta Gerwig's live-action comedy sends Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie out of the plastic perfection of Barbie Land and into the real world after she starts having thoughts about death, with Ryan Gosling's Ken tagging along and discovering patriarchy. America Ferrera, Will Ferrell as the Mattel CEO, Kate McKinnon, and Simu Liu round out the cast. It grossed more than 1.4 billion dollars, the biggest film in Warner Bros. history, and its treatment of gender roles became a talking point on both sides of the aisle.
