Seraphina and Perdie (pictured as tiny tots as they’re now much bigger and camera shy) came along with us to …. Well to mostly eat popcorn and sweets and see a movie. We did ask them for their views on whether Barbie was right to resist being put back in her box? If they felt it empowered women and made them think about their place in the world where gender inequality is becoming less acceptable with each passing day but…. they were too busy watching the film and consuming processed calories.
Some Barbie Movie reviews:
The film, she says, promises nostalgia, grandeur and a little darkness.
Donald Clarke of The Irish Times called Barbie a “lurid assault” on the senses. “The film delivers so much else … while Barbie’s journey of self-discovery is often derailed by surreal skits and arch asides.”
We (at Hearing Aid Recycling) loved it!
