Biggest Swing

A dramatic dip in sentiment during the heavy-handed middle section where the social commentary becomes preachy, followed by a strong recovery when Ken's comedic patriarchy storyline takes center stage

Barbie starts strong with brilliant visuals and clever comedy, but suffers in its didactic middle section where the messaging becomes heavy-handed. The film recovers thanks to Ryan Gosling's standout Ken performance and finds a satisfying if imperfect resolution.
