‘Barbie’
If you’re one of the few people left on the planet who hasn’t seen Barbie yet, you’re officially out of excuses, because Barbie is now streaming on Max. Believe the hype on this one. Director Greta Gerwig and her co-writer, Noah Baumbach, somehow managed to transform this infamous commercial property into a laugh-out-loud comedy, a heart-wrenching coming-of-age movie, an existential satire, and a self-aware capitalist commentary. And it’s all wrapped up in a neat, watchable, under-two-hour package. I still don’t know how they did that! Plus, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling bring down the house as Barbie and Ken. It only gets better the more times you watch it. Stream Barbie on Max, and feel the Ken-ergy.
