I like the way you think. I do think Barbie is a great movie, if not a such a serious film.When you think about what Barbie could have been, cheap, stupid, obvious….and look at what it is, smart, sly and subtle hiding in bright colors and glitz, that takes a lot of work. Gerwig should have that acknowledged with a nomination. Is her work better than Scorsese, Nolan or nominees for more serious films? Maybe not, but credit where credit is due. That movie could have been a technicolor train wreck…but it wasn’t. Far from it, and it was accessible to everyone.
<Is her work better than Scorsese>
Overall, no. Is Barbie better than Killers of the Flower Moon? To me it is. Killers is far from Scorsese's best work.
