The first social media reactions to the Barbie movie are taking the Internet by storm. The comedy, which was directed by Greta Gerwig from a script she co-wrote with Noah Baumbach, is set to arrive in theaters on July 21. It stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken and follows the pair as they travel into the real world after Barbie is exiled for malfunctioning and failing to behave in the perfect manner expected in Barbie Land.
The first reactions to the movie have been shared on social media, fewer than two weeks before the official Barbie release date. Critics and cultural pundits are dropping their brief, spoiler-free thoughts all over social media after the movie’s pink carpet premiere.
