About the film:
To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken.
From Academy Award-nominated writer-director Greta Gerwig, the first-ever live action Barbie film features a sensational ensemble cast led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. The fantasy-comedy follows the world’s most famous doll, who sets off for the human world to find true happiness after being expelled from Barbieland for being less than perfect.
