The talent on this film is stacked. I was interested the second I saw who was attached.

Greta Gerwig was an indie darling for a decade before she went on to make two highly praised, award-winning films back-to-back.

Noah Baumbach is known for mumblecore indie dramedies like The Squid and the Whale and recently got an Oscar nomination for Marriage Story. The irony of him working on a Barbie movie is intriguing enough.

Margot Robbie has brilliant charisma on screen and this role seems tailor-made for her.

And if you've seen The Nice Guys, you know how hilarious Ryan Gosling can be.

I think Ryan is the only one who actually won an Oscar, but the whole team has something like double digit nominations across their projects... so if the execution is there, as it is hoped w/ Oppenheimer, these are going to the frontrunners for a boatload of awards. One has to imagine the spirit on the set was high on making such a subversive, stylized piece of filmmaking.

I'm so there for a double feature.

I was deeply skeptical that I would be interested in a movie of Barbie IP. But the opening seconds of the trailer piqued my interest, and then the title card introduced Gerwig's name. I was instantly intrigued.

I hope it's good. (Though I've got a suspicion that a lot of HN users will hate it, and not because of it's girl-coded intellectual property.)
