Greta Gerwig's film blazes its way into a strange and bold future where adapting a film from a corporate toy franchise doesn’t immediately feel ugly and anti-art.

Beneath all the laughs at the expense of men and women is the sad truth that this brand of essentialism itself, of separating Barbies from Kens, of emphasizing their differences, is the thing that damages us the most.
