Knowing Gerwig, those themes might make it to the movie. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t either since hindi papayag Mattel na ilicense movie nila just to have their company criticized.

Here’s Phil Dy’s review of Barbie on Letterboxd.
An excerpt of the review
Here is a movie that asks what it means to be human, filtering that question through the experiences of a doll living in a fantasy world built on the fantasy ideal represented by Barbie: a world of unrealistically beautiful women who can be anything. More specifically, it asks what it means to be a woman, bursting that fantasy ideal as it shuttles off its main character into our world, and discovers that what she thought she represented didn’t seem to mean a whole lot in a world mired in patriarchy.
