Barbie helmer Greta Gerwig admits she hasn’t been paying attention to the good or bad feedback about her critically acclaimed fantasy comedy as she continues to process the buzz surrounding the billion-dollar film.Speaking to Vanity Fair, Gerwig revealed she hasn’t read one review for Barbie since the film was theatrically released on July 21 as she’s still trying to soak in everything that’s happened since the summer. “I’ll probably sit down with a binder sometime in February,” Gerwig said. “But right now it’s too fresh.” However, she noted how it’s “hard to wrap my head around” the box office splash Barbie made, becoming the highest-grossing movie worldwide in 2023 with over $1.44 billion made. She was pleased to know that many of the people who watched Barbie hadn’t been to a cinema in the post-pandemic era. “Everything I know about the movie’s success is an anecdote. Apparently, there was a very high percentage of people who said they couldn’t remember the last movie they saw in a movie theater,” she said.Despite all the goodwill surrounding Barbie across Hollywood and among moviegoers, the Warner Bros./Mattel Films pic has been bashed for its feminist themes, with notable critics such as political commentator Bill Maher calling it a “man-hating” movie with outdated societal tropes. Hailed as the ultimate female empowerment film by Mattel Films boss Robbie Brenner, Barbie was always likely to attract naysayers due to its sentiments. However, Gerwig, who became the highest earner ever for a film helmed by a woman thanks to Barbie, isn’t bothered by the backlash.How Barbie and The Marvels Support Feminine Creativity
