Review Detail

I must admit, I was a bit skeptical, considering the hype and the fact that I have not played with a Barbie for many decades.  But I found this to be an uplifting, appealing and heartfelt movie.  The actors were totally committed to their characters. The movie was pink and beautiful to watch, and included so many visual details that I found myself viewing it a second time.  The message was a bit heavy handed, but relevant and important.  Margot Robbie was wonderful, as was the entire cast. She managed to portray an innocence and goodness and silliness but then moments of real need and heartache. Her scene with Rhea Perlman was quiet and lovely. The movie was a joyous ride.
