New on DVD: See the world in pink with ‘Barbie’

The cultural moviegoing event of the year tops the DVD releases for the week of Oct. 17

“Barbie”: Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) leave Barbie Land and discover both the good and the bad of the real world in director Greta Gerwig’s box office sensation.

“In Greta Gerwig’s hands, Barbie is a weapon. The director wields the iconic doll like a broadsword in “Barbie,” cleaving through culture with gleeful spirit and savage humor,” writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. “In this existential exegesis on what it means to be a woman, and a human, Gerwig reflects our world back to us through the lens of Barbie, and in doing so, delivers a barbed statement wrapped in a visually sumptuous and sublimely silly cinematic confection.”
