One of the most hyped movies of the last few years has finally landed on Amazon Prime Video after taking in more than $1.44billion at the global box office.
Barbie sent us all into a whirlwind when it was released in 2023, and the world hasn’t quite managed to recover from the buzz.
Margot Robbie led the A-List cast as the titular doll, starring opposite just about anyone in Hollywood, including Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa and Michael Cera.
Thankfully, we can relive the magic as Greta Gerwig’s masterpiece has arrived on the streaming platform.
It currently commands a huge Rotten Tomatoes score of 88%, with critics branding it ‘dazzling’, a ‘love letter to women’ and a ‘jazzy and infectiously vibrant summer blockbuster’.
The hit focused on Barbie and co enjoying their lives ‘in the colorful and seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land.
‘However, when they get a chance to go to the real world, they soon discover the joys and perils of living among humans.’
Barbie broke records when it was released and became the highest-grossing film of 2023 – it also landed a string of Oscar nominations, despite Margot and Greta being snubbed in the best actress and best director categories.
It truly took on a life of its own upon release, as cinema-goers enjoyed the opportunity of turning the premiere into an entire event.
They were also delighted by Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer premiering on the same day, celebrating the phenomenon known as ‘Barbenheimer’ with a unique double feature.
For film fans who want to go that extra step and recreate the summer of 2023, you can turn your movie night into a Barbenheimer double-feature as Oppenheimer was added to Netflix last month.
Christopher Nolan’s flick followed the ‘father of the atomic bomb’ and his torment at creating such a deadly weapon of mass destruction.
Spanning several decades, it explored huge events in history, including the Manhattan Project and Hiroshima.
Cillian Murphy won an Oscar for his portrayal of Oppenheimer alongside Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jr.
Barbie is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
