I haven't seen it yet, but I never got the impression that this Barbie movie was designed to be a "fluff movie"--it's Greta Gerwig's brainchild. If you really think about the toy/doll, it is an iconic serious instrument of our society. I assumed that is where Gerwig was going to take this film and why some critics are calling it "preachy".Barbie seemed like an odd choice for him. I always got the impression that he chose more… serious roles? Not sure if that’s the right word, but at face value Barbie seems like it would be a bit fluffy for him.
