Anticipation for Greta Gerwig's Barbie has been building ever since the first teaser trailer for the film was released back in December 2022. Now that we're getting closer and closer to the July 21 release date, the hype could not be higher. The question on every Barbie (or Ken) fan's mind is: will the movie live up to all of this excitement? Some very lucky people got to see it on Sunday night at the world premiere. When you're done oohing and ahhing at the aesthetically pleasing and on brand premiere outfits the cast was flaunting, you can read on to get a gist of how the first official screening of the film made audiences feel. Barbie's world may be made in plastic, but was it fantastic?
From the glowing reactions that viewers shared on social media, it sure seems like the bright pink summer blockbuster might just be a dream come true. Joseph Deckelmeier, writer at ScreenRant, described the film as “funny, bombastic and very smart." He praised the cast's performances as "pure entertainment." And what more could you want from a pastel colored fantasy film? Variety's Kacy Stephan took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the screening, calling it "a nuanced commentary on what it means to be a woman in a whimsical, wonderful and laugh-out-loud funny romp." ComicBook.com writer Jamie Jirak gushed that director Gerwig "tackles the positives and negatives of Barbie so beautifully." And demands that the Academy "give Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination, I'm dead serious!”
If you're not already on the edge of your seat awaiting the official release of the candy colored and bubble gum pop fueled spectacle, read some more praise for the film and get ready!
I can't officially quit Twitter before telling you all that #Barbie is currently my favorite film of the year. Greta Gerwig somehow exceeded my expectations. She tackles the positives and negatives of Barbie so beautifully. Give Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination, I'm dead serious!

#Barbie is a triumph. A pitch-perfect script backed by great performances — particularly from Ryan Gosling — turns what could be a simple studio comedy into a sharp commentary on our society that makes its nuance palatable for those that may not take it at face value. GG is 3/3. pic.twitter.com/MIVRtkmtbd

#Barbie caught me off guard & I mean that in the best way possible. It’s funny, bombastic, & very smart. Greta Gerwig aims for the fences & hits a home-run. Margot Robbie’s performance is great & @RyanGosling & @SimuLiu are pure entertainment! The whole cast is brilliant! pic.twitter.com/oXH965aUIF

#Barbie is a cinematic triumph. Gerwig is at the top of her game here, she’s crafted a film that’s not only gorgeous to look at, but poignant, clever and hilarious. Margot Robbie delivers an endearing and memorable performance, though it’s Gosling who stole every scene he was in pic.twitter.com/IU9ZrbKlnq

Further BARBIE thoughts to come but the number one is I can’t believe Greta Gerwig got away with it! (said admiringly)

#BarbieTheMovie is witty, heartfelt, and downright fun at times. Ryan Gosling is a scene stealer delivering most of the laughs while Margot Robbie’s heartfelt performance will tug at your heartstrings. While I enjoyed most of the film the screenplay feels bloated at times pic.twitter.com/lepggZKZIX

#Barbie REVIEW: Heartfelt & hilarious! Margot Robbie’s crown jewel performance (Oscars here we come). It’s super fun, endearing & magical with a 3rd act that’ll beach you off. This isn’t just another comedy, it’s Greta Gerwig’s BEST movie ever!! A fitting end setting what’s next pic.twitter.com/qXPM8gSiqs

I saw #BarbieTheMovie and Greta Gerwig left me all in my feelings as did the production design, costumes, Hair and makeup! I was living for the dance numbers led by Simu Liu! It’s overblown fun with a feminist twist😜💗 #BarbieMovie pic.twitter.com/tL7vaUsqT4

#Barbie is perfection. Greta Gerwig delivers a nuanced commentary on what it means to be a woman in a whimsical, wonderful and laugh-out-loud funny romp. The entire cast shines, especially Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in roles they were clearly born to play. 🎀

#Barbie is Ryan Gosling’s best role to date—Greta Gerwig takes everything that has made him great in his previous films and combines them into a Super-Gosling. The Oscar buzz is real, and if it happens it would be one of the most fun and inspired nominations in recent memory. pic.twitter.com/yxhYULZTYz

The way BARBIE completely lives up to the hype! A rich tapestry of camp, tantalizing visuals and emotional sincerity. Offering the grand comment on society that a woman’s everyday life is a gendered battlefield. Gosling as Ken is sublime and instantly ICONIC. In Gerwig we TRUST🤌 pic.twitter.com/qCPuA3Afxo
