Look, no one's denying the delightful summer romp that is the Greta Gerwig-directed Barbie film. It's funny, it's heartwarming, it's weird, it's completely star-studded. No notes. And it grossed over $1 billion, so the world agrees. How could one improve upon, for example, Ryan Gosling strumming Matchbox 20 on the beach? Or Kate McKinnon serving weird Barbie realness? Or the cavalcade of Kens in their macho battle scene? Or Helen Mirren's sassy narrator? Or Allen?!
And yet, we have been given a glimpse of what might have been, courtesy of an interview with Gerwig, and it's making me a little wistful.
