Na premijeri filma prisustvovali su brojni filmski kritičari, koji, iako su potpune recenzije još uvijek pod embargom, nisu mogli odoljeti da ne objave nekoliko misli na Twitteru – prema kojima zvuči kao da je hype oko filma opravdan.
Kritičar Jamie Jirak, jedan je od sretnih posjetitelja premijere, proglasio je Barbie svojim “omiljenim filmom godine”, dok je Ryan Gosling posebno dobio pohvale. Jirakovo oduševljene Kenom ide toliko daleko da je rekao da glumac zaslužuje nominaciju za Oscara.
I can’t officially quit Twitter before telling you all that #Barbie is currently my favorite film of the year. Greta Gerwig somehow exceeded my expectations. She tackles the positives and negatives of Barbie so beautifully. Give Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination, I’m dead serious!

S njime se složila i Katcy Stephan iz Variety magazina koja je pohvalila cijelu glumačku postavu. Iako su prije nekoliko mjeseci nakon što je objavljena glumačka postava za Barbie film padale negativne kritike na odabir Ryan Goslinga za ulogu Kena zbog njegovih godina, Katcy je napisala da je glavni glumački par “rođen za ovu ulogu”.
#Barbie is perfection. Greta Gerwig delivers a nuanced commentary on what it means to be a woman in a whimsical, wonderful and laugh-out-loud funny romp. The entire cast shines, especially Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in roles they were clearly born to play. 🎀

Ali i osvrti ostalih kritičara daju naslutit da će nas Barbie film “izuti iz cipela”, da se radi o potencijalnom “filmu godine”, ali i da je Ryan ukrao sva “svjetla pozornice”.
No surprise – #Barbie is a knockout. As a comedy, it’s a total crowd pleaser – as an indictment of capitalistic feminism and urgent call to go ahead and eat our pets if trapped with them following a major earthquake it is devastating. Gosling steals the show – absolutely loved it

#Barbie caught me off guard & I mean that in the best way possible. It’s funny, bombastic, & very smart. Greta Gerwig aims for the fences & hits a home-run. Margot Robbie’s performance is great & @RyanGosling & @SimuLiu are pure entertainment! The whole cast is brilliant! pic.twitter.com/oXH965aUIF

#Barbie is a triumph. A pitch-perfect script backed by great performances — particularly from Ryan Gosling — turns what could be a simple studio comedy into a sharp commentary on our society that makes its nuance palatable for those that may not take it at face value. GG is 3/3. pic.twitter.com/MIVRtkmtbd
