This week, Kate reviews the Barbie movie and all the whimsy, fun, and complex nostalgia of this pop cultural fixture that has historically represented both opportunities and impossible standards for women. Warning, lots of spoilers - she reviews the plot high-level, talks about her favorite parts, Greta Gerwig's religious parallels, the recognizable throwback clothes/vehicles/characters, and then discusses her interpretation of the deeper meaning of Barbieland versus the real world, and the relatable journey from confident to self-conscious many young women endure following the age they stop playing with Barbies. Enjoy!
