             RATING : ★★★★/5 DIRECTOR :  Greta Gerwig CAST : Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emma Mackey, Will Ferrell, Michael Cera, Ritu Ariya and many more BARBIE REVIEW  Not sure if there is a word that fully encapsulates Barbie. Jubilant, but never comes off as corny. Moving, but never comes off as disingenuous. I think some of the characters and relationships are severely underdeveloped, but Barbie's journey of self-discovery is told in such an meaningful way, it's hard to imagine anyone not walking out with a huge grin on their face. I also think we have enough evidence to continue casting Gosling in more comedic projects, the guy is a hoot.
