On the other hand, ‘Barbie,’ directed by Greta Gerwig, draws inspiration from the beloved Barbie fashion dolls and weaves a whimsical comedy in a fantasy setting. Alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the film features talented actors like Ariana Greenblatt, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emma Mackey, and others.
