Barbie

There are pieces of Barbie that I will never be able to emotionally connect with at the same level many women do. It’s just a fact of my upbringing, but recognizing that doesn’t make me love the movie any less, the opposite in fact. I think it’s amazing that there are stories to be told that can resonate so deeply with people in a way that just never will for me. That doesn’t mean I don’t laugh, or cry, or smile at Barbie, though. The feelings and emotions it can stir up with the people you watch it with are infectious, and honestly Barbie makes me feel a bit closer and more connected to my loved ones in ways I wouldn’t think possible. Sublime.
