Special Screening: Barbie (12A)

Outdoor Cinema 2023

Barbie looks over Barbieland

Join us for this fashionably late addition to our Outdoor Cinema party, as we bring this much-anticipated, hilarious and utterly joyful new release title to our Sculpture Court screen.

Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie) lives in Barbie Land, a perfect pink party paradise. All the Barbies are blissfully happy, knowing that their influence on women in the real world solved their problems and allowed them to co-exist with men as peacefully as the Barbies do with the Kens. Or so they thought, until Barbie wakes up with an existential crisis only a trip to the real world can cure.

Academy Award nominated writer/director Greta Gerwig (Lady BirdLittle Women) crafts a joyfully feminist vision, inviting us to see through the eyes of a Barbie who cannot fathom why a world would exist in which women are treated as anything but equals.

Also starring Ryan Gosling, America Ferrara, Ariana Greenblatt, Kate McKinnon, Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Hari Nef, Emma Mackey, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Kingsley Ben-Adir and featuring Helen Mirren.
