Barbie, the antithesis of what that name might conjure, is an often-aggressive brunette not exactly aging gracefully, whose messy existence at 55 is in desperate need of an upgrade. The lonely mother of two young adults is hospitalized for her declining mental health, but upon release, journeys solo to the Scottish Highlands to rejuvenate. A writer and poet, Barbie is a semi-autobiographical creation of Fillières, and Agnès Jaoui plays her fearlessly, exhibiting awkwardness, poignancy, and wit. This up-close look at a complicated woman's life, filmed mostly handheld to capture its immediacy, provides an affecting swan song for the director. "A cinematic miracle." - Richard Brody, The New Yorker
