Graham F I thought it was fantastic. Very funny and realistic despite being 'theatrical'. The way the characters spoke to each other was very real whilst the acting was unreal if that makes any sense. I found it scarily depressing in some points: Charlie for example particularly the scene with Barney and his mother at the building-site bonfire where cruelly told him his whole life was basically a lie was. Winstone's 'sole-Englishman' role was brilliant. Was also good seeing day-to-day Glasgow locations looking other-wordly Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Fleces P It's one of those Snatch like "everything falls into place" movies that would be a lot better if ... it didn't suck. It's just doesn't have a whole lot to offer. You're better off vacuuming the house or something. At least you walk away from that feeling like you didn't just waste your afternoon. Can't say the same for this film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/23 Full Review Wolfgang G Die Legende von Barney Thomson ist eine britische schwarze Komödie von Robert Carlyle, der außerdem die Hauptrolle übernahm. Der Film basiert nach einem Roman von Douglas Lindsay. Wer den englischen Humor liebt, ist bei „Die Legende von Barney Thomson" auf den richtigen Weg… Robert Carlyle inszenierte eine herrliche Komödie, mit deftigen „schwarzen" Einschüben. Emma Thompson ist einfach hervorragend und überlegen als Cemolina, ja Emma Thompson stiehlt allen die Show! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/23 Full Review Bryan This movie is dark and hilarious and should have received much wider acclaim for its originality and exceptional acting. I recommend it to all my friends. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/22 Full Review Audience Member O tipo de filme bizarro e exagerado que amo, humor negro adorável, situações improváveis, ações absurdas, fiquei a rir sozinha, e o plot twist, meu pai, que delicia, regozijei, que mamãe fofa… O que foi aquele final, uau, estranho, doido, insano, amei... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved it. Once you get past the thick accents, Robert Carlyle and Emma Thompson are brilliant. I love british wit and watching RC try to lie to the police is a lovely comic relief, and Emma Thompson as his brash, crude mother is hilarious. Highly recommend!
