Barbie to Once Upon A Time In Hollywood; Top 6 Margot Robbie movies that are a must-watch
Margot Robbie recently painted the globe pink with her marvelous role as Barbie. Over the years, she has played a wide range of characters. Here are our top six picks from her illustrious career.
Margot Robbie is a star in her own right. In the decade following her breakthrough performance in The Wolf of Wall Street in the United States, the native Australian had established herself as one of Hollywood's most dependable actors. Robbie combined old-school star power with the modern era's most popular genres, delivering outstanding performances in both action blockbusters and historical dramas. While collaborating with several of today's most important directors, like Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Adam McKay, Damien Chazelle, James Gunn, and Wes Anderson, she has a history of casually stealing the focus from her most famous co-stars.
Margot Robbie began her professional acting career in 2007, with roles in the films ICU and Vigilante. Robbie rose to international prominence after acting in both the rom-com About Time and Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013. She has since starred in a number of major films and is likely to appear in many more. Here are our top 6 picks for Robbie that one just can’t miss.

It's a role that feels tailor-made for Robbie, not just because of her physical resemblance to a Stereotypical Barbie (lean, blonde, and gorgeous), but also because of her ability to mock those characteristics while still embracing them. This Barbie sets off on her hero's journey to escape the horrors of existential dread and cellulite, only to learn how the real world chews up and spits out women, as underscored in a superb monologue by her human companion, a frustrated but inspiring America Ferrera.
The narrator breaks the fourth wall at Barbie's epiphany on the paradox of patriarchal norms, pointing out the irony of having one of the most conventionally attractive and successful A-list actresses meditate on feeling insufficient. But Robbie's casting remains excellent because no one can live up to her caricature. She conveys filmmaker Greta Gerwig's recurring themes of girlhood, independence, and displacement while still retaining the essence of Barbie's idealized doll, which is no easy achievement for any actor, but Robbie does it again.

This biographical drama recounted Tonya Harding's entire narrative, beginning with her youth and ending with the 1994 attack on Nancy Kerrigan before the Winter Olympics. Margot Robbie played Harding, while Sebastian Stan played Harding's spouse, Jeff Gillooly, and Allison Janney played her severe mother, LaVona Golden.
Though the film was attacked for portraying Harding as sympathetic, it was generally appreciated for masterfully merging dark comedy, sorrow, and genuine emotion. Robbie's performance received a lot of praise.
The Big Short

Though Margo Robbie's role was minor (she only appeared briefly as herself), it was entertaining to see her get a few lines about the film's important issues. After all, who wouldn't want to be a part of a critically acclaimed drama? The Big Short was well-received by both audiences and critics, winning several Academy Award nominations, including the award for best adapted screenplay.
