Netizens laud Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie', say Ryan Gosling deserves an Oscar

'Barbie' directed by Greta Gerwig is set to release. However, the first reviews of the film have already started coming in and you surely don't want to miss what netizens feel! Ever since the trailer of 'Barbie' starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is unveiled, fans have been waiting for the film anxiously. Not to mention, the trend of Barbie inspired dresses has also taken over social media.But is it worth the hype? Let's find out!
Well, netizens have seemed to given it a big thumbs up. If we go by the early reviews, the film is a winner and netizens are absolutely loving Gerwig's treatment along with the performances of the actors. One user said, "#Barbie was a deeply cathartic experience. It’s about industrialization of art/iconography forming sensibility instead of individualism, and Greta tells it with so much joy and heart. I was cackling at Gosling’s himbo Ken one scene and bawling my eyes out at the next. A classic".

Users also fell for the film's visual appeal in terms of the costume and production design. Someone tweeted, "I have seen #Barbie! The craftsmanship is incredible. In particular the costume & production design includes next-level work that heavily contributes to creating the feeling that these truly are Barbies, their dream houses, and their worlds come to life. As for the story, that’s where I’m a bit more mixed. I think the film serves Margot Robbie’s Barbie and her journey especially well, but there are other characters experiencing important arcs that needed more screen time to really dig into and explore to the fullest."

A user said, "Greta Gerwig’s is an ABSOLUTE marvel of a film. She is able to infuse this simple story with so much emotion, excitement, and comedy. Her style shines bright. Margot Robbie and gosling shine brighter then the sun, this is such a great movie. The hype is REAL."

One of the reviews read, "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!"
Another one further added, "#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 (sic)."

'Barbie' is set to release on July 21.
