"Weird and wonderful, it’s one of the funnest and funniest movies ever made – and is brilliantly spearheaded by actress and producer Margot Robbie, along with writer-director Greta Gerwig."
★★★★★ Charlotte O'Sullivan, London Evening Standard

"Barbie is one of the most inventive, immaculately crafted and surprising mainstream films in recent memory -- a testament to what can be achieved within even the deepest bowels of capitalism."
★★★★★ Clarisse Loughrey, Independant (uk)

"Gerwig and Baumbach waste no time in racing through the scenes you might anticipate... Their exuberantly eccentric fairy tale"
★★★★★ Nicholas Barber, BBC.com

"What a gorgeous and fascinating mishmash this is."
★★★★ Kevin Maher, Times (uk)

"Greta Gerwig delivers a new kind of ambitious and giddily entertaining blockbuster that boasts two definitive performances from actors already in their stride. Life after Barbie will simply never be the same again."
★★★★ Beth Webb, Empire Magazine

"This is a wonderfully fun watch that somehow manages to simultaneously celebrate and satirise the Barbie brand, its feminism and girliness pairing like gorpcore sandals with a floaty pink skirt."
★★★★ Alive Saville, Time Out

"At its best, the movie is like the kind of high-end restaurant that serves great food in the playful guise of favourite childhood desserts. The pleasures of that -- and the chutzpah of doing it at blockbuster scale -- are to be applauded."
★★★★ Financial Times

"Gerwig’s film – while still fundamentally being a summer comedy adventure about the Barbie toy line – is far from the blunt-force cash grab many of us feared. In fact it’s deeply bizarre, conceptually slippery and often roar-out-loud hilarious."
★★★★ Robbie Collin,  Daily Telegraph
