Barbie Land’s residents would possibly appear to be they’re having a good time in “Barbie,” however it seems they’re really residing a hellish nightmare … a minimum of in keeping with one legendary movie director.

Piers Morgan Uncensored

Actor/director Werner Herzog — identified for his function as The Shopper in ‘Mandalorian’ — sat down on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” earlier this week when the largest flick of 2023 got here up … and Herzog did not mince phrases when it got here to the film.

Werner admitted he solely watched about half-hour of the Oscar-nominated movie … however he is theorizing Barbie Land is not a magical wonderland — however someplace with a a lot hotter local weather.

Herzog stated, “I don’t have an answer, but I have a suspicion. Could it be that the world of ‘Barbie’ is sheer hell? And, for a movie ticket, as an audience you can witness sheer hell as close as it gets?”

Piers instructed his visitor he is really seen the entire flick, and he thinks Werner’s spot on in terms of his evaluation.

Werner’s phrases are maybe probably the most stunning indictment of the movie that is charmed worldwide audiences and obtained a number of awards buzz. It is up for eight Academy Awards this 12 months and remodeled $1 billion on the field workplace … not precisely torturing viewers.

Nonetheless, it is not like Barbie’s profitable each award this season … it was fully shut out at the BAFTAs and solely received two of the 9 Golden Globes awards it was up for.

So, it appears “Barbie” is not precisely placing the critics in a heavenly mindset … however to name components of the film hell is likely to be taking it a bit too far.
