If you haven’t been disconnected from the internet in the past year, you’re likely aware of the immense buzz surrounding director Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated film, Barbie. I’m confident in labeling it as a hit even before its release, and there are several factors that contribute to its potential success, regardless of critics’ opinions. From the emergence of Barbie-core, the memorable red carpet appearances by Margot Robbie, the intriguing Oppenheimer v. Barbie rivalry that future generations will envy, this movie has already achieved cult status and will undoubtedly endure the test of time.
