Movie Reviews and Previews Hello, Barbie As if we weren’t already obsessed with Barbie—just the idea of it, a Barbie movie with THAT collection of talent in front of and behind the camera—yesterday Barbie released FANTASTIC character posters (you can make your own, too!) and a bomb-ass trailer and now we are EVEN By Sarah • Apr 05, 2023 11:03 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Barbies, Kens, and Humans Barbie, the movie, is coming for our Tuesday. Warner Bros just dropped over a dozen character posters for their expected summer blockbuster and it’s perhaps our best indication of what the story might be…sort of. Margot Robbie is Barbie. “Barbie is everything” is how her poster is described. By Lainey • Apr 04, 2023 11:27 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Wes Anderson’s alien movie By this point, either Wes Anderson’s twee little dioramas work for you, or they don’t. They almost always work for me, I like the dark streak at the heart of all his stories, the human messiness juxtaposed with his strict papercraft sensibility. I also don’t mind his By Sarah • Mar 30, 2023 11:17 am
Style All the Oscar Silver-Whites There were a lot of white dresses, or white-silver dresses, on the Oscar carpet last night. My favourite was Michelle Williams, who’s now gone back to her pixie cut, after keeping her hair chin length-ish for a while now. It’s perfect with this sheer caped Chanel, the silk By Lainey • Mar 13, 2023 03:49 pm
Gorgessity Margot Robbie in Versace Margot Robbie wore pink Chanel last week to the Golden Globes and according to some, including me, it was an underwhelming choice. The Margot + Chanel combination has been underwhelming since the partnership started – and it becomes that much more obvious whenever she wears non-Chanel pieces, like the Valentino gown she By Lainey • Jan 16, 2023 12:40 pm
Assy Style Margot Robbie: A Double Not-Chanel Near the end of last year, as Margot Robbie started promoting Babylon, she seemed to have found her style groove again. As I wrote back in November, all the looks she’d been serving – and they were really, really good looks – were NOT Chanel, which made all the difference. Chanel By Lainey • Jan 13, 2023 10:14 am
Golden Globes 2023 Anya, Ana, Jessica, Julia, and Margot: The Future Is Now The Golden Globes team must be pretty pleased with the red carpet turnout because real stars showed up and unless there’s a major gaffe or scandal, it looks like the show will continue on as it always has. I’m focusing on four specific women who are all surging By Maria • Jan 11, 2023 12:15 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt in Babylon Damien Chazelle continues his cinematic study of obsession and achievement with Babylon, a three hour and ten-minute odyssey through the end of the silent era of film that drags the audience through piles of cocaine, piss, vomit, and ten gallons of elephant sh-t. It’s the most glamorous film about By Sarah • Dec 21, 2022 11:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews We’re in our Barbie Era For a lot of us, Barbie is one of the most anticipated movies of 2023. It’s not even that we’re all fans of Barbie, it’s the sheer combination of unlikely factors—that a Barbie movie exists in the 2020s, that it’s directed by Greta Gerwig, that By Sarah • Dec 16, 2022 10:56 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for December 16, 2022 Dear Gossips, Babylon, the last major entry into awards season before the holidays, premiered in Los Angeles last night. Everyone turned out, from headliners Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, and Diego Calva, to members of the massive ensemble including Jean Smart, Flea, comedian Rory Scovel, Li Jun Li, Tobey Maguire, Lukas By Sarah • Dec 16, 2022 09:11 am
Style Margot, Damien, and the Babylon Hype All year, as we approached award season, Babylon was the one people were leaving room for. This happens often – a film set for a Christmas release, by an award-winning director, with a star-studded cast… there were expectations, there were predictions. Now that Babylon has started screening, first in LA last By Lainey • Nov 22, 2022 10:57 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Actresses Show Up To Campaign Unlike the Best Actor category which I posted about earlier, the Best Actress category for Oscar this year is much more competitive. We have our frontrunners, no doubt, but there are several other women with legitimate claims to the few remaining spots. And it’s looking like it’s a By Lainey • Nov 21, 2022 01:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Margot Robbie at arm’s length Margot Robbie is the cover star of Vanity Fair’s December issue, in support of Babylon, Damien Chazelle’s ode to silent-era Hollywood (on the cusp of the talkie era). How magnanimous of Robbie to give Vanity Fair another shot after that super gross 2016 profile that managed to insult By Sarah • Nov 15, 2022 10:02 am
Gorgessity Margot Robbie in not-Chanel Some brands and their ambassadors are a perfect match. Zendaya + Valentino = Excellent. Jodie Turner-Smith + Gucci = Amazing. Kristen Stewart + Chanel = So F-cking Good. But Chanel doesn’t work for everyone. As I’ve been saying for a while now, since shortly after the partnership started, I don’t dig Margot Robbie By Lainey • Nov 03, 2022 02:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Babylon says not so fast Lest the fall festival triad of Venice, Telluride, and TIFF convince you that awards season is all but set in stone, the trailer for Babylon dropped yesterday, introducing one of the later-season players and, potentially, a major contender. Written and directed by Damien Chazelle, Babylon has an A++ list cast, By Sarah • Sep 14, 2022 11:42 am
Ryan Gosling Ryan Gosling will heist with Margot Robbie Post-Barbie, Margot Robbie is moving onto her Ocean’s 11 prequel, which will be set in the 1960s. But she’s keeping it in the Barbie family, so to speak, as Ryan Gosling is in talks to join her in the film. Okay, I KNOW this isn’t what is By Sarah • Aug 22, 2022 12:07 pm
