Yeah. You hear the concept and think "Oh, how funny."
But then, it's about how the pressures of being a famous woman, and how trying to fufill an idealized concept completely destroyed a human life. Plus, there's footage in there of concentration camp victims.
Still, some people don't get it. After being deeply moved by a screening, I was told: "It's made with Barbie Dolls, for crying out loud. You're thinking about it too much!"
