- Cecilia Barroso @ Cenas de Cinema [Portuguese]
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Barbie did the impossible by fulfilling those high expectations. Even when I know I’m not part of the target audience, Greta Gerwig puts together a gorgeous, empowering, and hilarious blockbuster to appeal to everybody.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A sassy comedy that raises questions for people of all ages about what it means to frame your life as a quest.
- Travis Burgess @ The Sacred Wall
- Excerpt: Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ uses its silliness to probe for deeper meaning
- Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: I was expecting a sharp, feminist satire from cowriter (with Noah Baumbach)/director Greta Gerwig, but instead she’s given us a battle of the sexes comedy…offers a lot of laughs and is colorful entertainment, but its message is muddled.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum

- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Margot Robbie is undeniably well-cast, but its stealth weapon is Ryan Gosling. The Ken-ergy is real.
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Nick Kush @ MovieBabble
- Excerpt: Greta Gerwig’s hotly-anticipated ‘Barbie’ is outrageously goofy, messy, and sincere.
- Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Sarah Marrs @ LaineyGossip
- Excerpt: Barbie is a lunatic fable about girlhood, good vibes, and going for it that proposes self-acceptance as the most radical act of self-love, told by a doll—person? Yes!—that is positive and problematic at the same time.
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Barbie made me laugh more often than not and that’s all I want from a comedy. The cast is hilarious. Also, I don’t care what anybody says. Will Ferrell’s character is the dad from The Lego Movie and this is a shared cinematic universe!
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: For all the great things Robbie and Gosling are doing on a comedic level, their brilliance lies in the ability to also bring pathos to a narrative that never shies away from the complicated nature accepting another’s lived experience and desires.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Barbie is a one-of-a-kind hit that bombastically celebrates uniqueness and creativity, with writer-director Greta Gerwig once again proving herself as a top talent with endless stores of filmmaking ingenuity. It’s one of the year’s bests and Robbie and Gosling are simply perfect.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- João Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- Paulo Portugal @ Insider.pt [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Imagina-se que Greta Gerwig terá tido uma epifania inspiradora para fazer Barbie. Não é que seja necessária uma imaginação prodigiosa, mas é possível imaginá-la a receber uma luz depois de estar com alguma menina devidamente acompanhada pela sua boneca.
- [New] | Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: Being 74 years of age, I have been through the many facets of female oppression, from sports and career exclusion, inequitable salary prejudice and the #METOO movement. Want to make a comedy about slavery or the Hollocaust, too? Would it come off well?
- Christopher Reed @ Film Festival Today
- Excerpt: I wanted to love the film, and it was only halfway through that I finally admitted to myself that it was a mess.
- James Wegg @ JWR
- Excerpt: Why was this made?
