The Big Picture

Hari Nef as Dr. Barbie embodies comic timing and absurd mannerisms in her role, breaking away from harmful stereotypes.
The presence of a trans actress in Barbie challenges societal norms and provides a subversive portrayal of trans identity.
Hari Nef's performance not only enhances the film's comedy but also reinforces the importance of embracing vulnerability and breaking free from societal expectations in the journey of self-discovery.
