Arts’ Watch: ‘Barbie’ Published 12:00 pm Saturday, August 5, 2023By Bill McCannColumnistGreta Gerwig’s movie “Barbie” is perfect for a summer heat wave with a perfect storm of humor, social commentary, laugh-out-loud moments, quiet thoughtfulness, and, oh, yes: Barbie (and Ken). It allows hands to reach and move Barbie and Ken around within their environment. “Barbie” is a film that takes on what it means and feels like to be female in America today. The plot is that Barbie is affected by what is happening in the real world, and it takes its toll on her. The movie then, with the help of Weird Barbie (Kate McKinnon) becomes a buddy movie as Barbie (reluctantly) takes Ken (Ryan Gossling) along to set things right again.
