  Round 4. Still excellent. Best film of the summer so far.

  Barbie 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 21 Jul 2023

  Barbie  was excellent and surprisingly moving. At once a deconstruction and brilliant comedy. Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and Noah Baumbach have gotten away with a most beautiful murder.

  What if Robert Eggers made a movie that was like Kurosawa made a cross between Hamlet and Macbeth with Vikings?

  Round 7.

  The film smooths out on repeated viewings, but is not without its problems. When I'm watching it, I'm totally invested and it feels like my favorite Star Wars film. When I leave, I see small errors that leave me scratching my head and it makes me feel like it's the least good of all the Star Wars films.
