Critics and fans who were able to see the movie are tweeting absolutely rave reviews for Ryan as Ken.
From "Ryan Gosling stole the show"...
I attended the #BarbieTheMovie premiere in LA tonight and I have not had a seratonin boost on that level in ages. I was GIDDY! It's a technicolor marvel to experience. Margot Robbie is mesmerizing. Ryan Gosling stole the show. Michael Cera was perfect.

... to "Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling [were in] roles they were clearly born to play."
#Barbie is perfection. Greta Gerwig delivers a nuanced commentary on what it means to be a woman in a whimsical, wonderful and laugh-out-loud funny romp. The entire cast shines, especially Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in roles they were clearly born to play. 🎀
"Give Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination, I'm dead serious!" said Jamie Jirak of ComicBook.com.
I can't officially quit Twitter before telling you all that #Barbie is currently my favorite film of the year. Greta Gerwig somehow exceeded my expectations. She tackles the positives and negatives of Barbie so beautifully. Give Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination, I'm dead serious!
Because I can't stop reading these little blurbs, here are more quotes about Ryan's appearance in Barbie that have me irrationally excited.
"Barbie is Ryan Gosling's best role to date."
#Barbie is Ryan Gosling’s best role to date—Greta Gerwig takes everything that has made him great in his previous films and combines them into a Super-Gosling. The Oscar buzz is real, and if it happens it would be one of the most fun and inspired nominations in recent memory. pic.twitter.com/yxhYULZTYz
"Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu are pure entertainment."
#Barbie caught me off guard & I mean that in the best way possible. It’s funny, bombastic, & very smart. Greta Gerwig aims for the fences & hits a home-run. Margot Robbie’s performance is great & @RyanGosling & @SimuLiu are pure entertainment! The whole cast is brilliant! pic.twitter.com/oXH965aUIF

"A pitch-perfect script backed by great performances — particularly from Ryan Gosling — turns what could be a simple studio comedy into a sharp commentary on our society that makes its nuance palatable for those that may not take it at face value."
#Barbie is a triumph. A pitch-perfect script backed by great performances — particularly from Ryan Gosling — turns what could be a simple studio comedy into a sharp commentary on our society that makes its nuance palatable for those that may not take it at face value.

Now that the #Barbie embargo is finally up I can tell you guys it was fucking KINO. I saw it back in like February. Ryan Gosling as Ken is literally me and is his career best performance. Kind of ironic Ken steals the show in Barbie’s movie.
To the shock of no one, Greta Gerwig's #BarbieMovie is a dream house of cheers & tears. A whimsical & emotional journey of self-discovery & growth. Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling are PERFECTION while the production design & costumes are SUBLIME. No longer can we say she's… pic.twitter.com/6uI9njfUyq
#BarbieTheMovie is witty, heartfelt, and downright fun at times. Ryan Gosling is a scene stealer delivering most of the laughs while Margot Robbie’s heartfelt performance will tug at your heartstrings. While I enjoyed most of the film the screenplay feels bloated at times pic.twitter.com/lepggZKZIX
