Over the past weekend, audiences were treated to the premiere of two highly anticipated summer blockbusters. The first one, Barbie, is a visually distinct and subversive satire with a staggering budget of $145 million. The colourful movie based on the popular doll was directed by Greta Gerwig, an award-winning female director.
The second film, Oppenheimer, is a grand and visually stunning dramatic movie that feels more or less like a glorified documentary, boasting a budget of $100 million and featuring a star-studded cast.
