BARBIE
directed by Greta Gerwig
I wasn’t allowed a Barbie doll growing up. My English mother insisted we play instead with Sindy – Barbie’s homelier British cousin. Sindy’s vital statistics were less Playboy Bunny and, in hindsight, more Real Housewives, but at least her heels were a little closer to the floor.
With this bittersweet recollection, I was movie would be something of a documentary, and fill me in on everything I had missed out on when my friends went to play at other friends’ houses.
