Tim Basaraba – Greta Gerwig is an impressive artist. Her coming-of-age debut Lady Bird was among my favorite films of 2017 and I gave her adaption of Little Women an A when I reviewed it in 2019. As an actress, she comes across as sincere and likable no matter how strange the character.
Tim Basaraba – Rarely has a film or film generated a grass roots marketing campaign as instantaneously impactful as this year’s “Barbenheimer” phenomenon. From its first known mention on April 15, 2023 to the opening weekend of the two films, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, this witty combination of titles has dominated pop culture and realized studio profits far beyond initial estimates.
