Barbie (2023) – Multicultural Film Festival

Stereotypical Barbie suffers an existential crisis and ventures into the real world. Along the way she learns life lessons about self-esteem, the dangers of traditional gender roles, and the value of uniqueness. It’s an unexpected, surprising, and clever approach, not the Barbie and Ken you’ve always known. (The discussion following the film is one you won’t want to miss.) (1 hr. 54 min., PG-13)
