    Beautifully directed no doubt, yet extremely mediocre. Maybe because I knew what to expect heading into this film.

    With East Asian films I struggle to distinguish between the voices of different characters until I familiarize myself with them. I was lost for the first few minutes in this film.

    I'd put this movie in the category of 'movies to watch when you want to feel something'. I will concede I did not have the patience to fully enjoy this movie, but it still evoked a sense of poignance. It is very slow and simple. The score is simply perfect.

    I fail to articulate why, but this movie reminds me of Good Time (2017).

    Fuck you Warner Bros.

    Docked stars for a bullshit theme, plot holes, unnecessary and unwarranted comments about other movies, unfunny humour and the choice of music.




    *SPOILERS AHEAD*


    I liked the opening sequence. It was an excellent introduction to Barbieland. I could see and appreciate the effort put into set design. The whole ‘War between the Kens’ sequence was exceptional as well. Ryan Gosling was phenomenal.

    I failed to understand what the point of the movie was. Is patriarchy bad?…

    One of the greatest films I’ve ever watched. Definitely the best foreign language film.
