"Anarchically hilarious and unexpectedly emotional, Barbie is a magical cinematic confection of absurdity, heart, and Technicolor musicals. Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have created a deeply personal and idiosyncratic film from the polarizing icon that is the doll Barbie. The movie celebrates the perfection of imperfection, and affirms that everyone, even Allan, is Kenough. In addition to the screenplay, this volume contains an exclusive introduction by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, as well as a gallery of images from the film"--Back cover.
