Audience Member Total Snoozefest! I saw this upon initial release as Kubrick had made "A Clockwork Orange" two years earlier. Most of the sparse audience in a rather large urban theatre walked out by halfway through. I would have, too, but I brought a date. She probably hated it, too. Ryan O'Neal stinks up everything he's in. I guess being a bad actor "...means never having to say you're sorry!" I don't give a rodent's posterior about the great lighting and camerawork; if you can't put an engaging story on the screen it's nothing but an ego trip, and Kubrick was known for those eg: 2001, Eyes Wide Shut, and THIS turkey. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Shaun B The great kubricks masterpiece.Superb cinema photography.The slow pace of the narrative gives you the opportunity to relish every frame,which is like gazing at a painting.Its like stepping out of a time machine.I watched it three times at the Warner cinema at Leicester Square,when it was first released.Perfect in spite of the puzzling casting of Marisa Berenson as Lady Lyndon.I love every second of it,and it rewards repeat viewing.The greatest movie ever.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review dimitrios o You not only must see Barry Lyndon on the big screen---you MUST see Barry Lyndon (and on the big screen). If you want to see one of the great films, and great cinematic achievements, then take the time and do so. Kubrick's mastery is to develop the film over the 3 hours from a picaresque travelogue in the rough and ready outdoorsy life of the 18th C common people--then into the close, luxurious confines of an aristocratic family, but nonetheless one in which the seeming aridity and formality slowly moves into vast human depths. You have to stroll through the first half before being plunged into the second. Anyway--one of the greatest of film experiences (on the big screen, of course). Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Connor S Simultaneously gloomy and beautiful, tragic beyond belief and hopeful with a light at the end of the tunnel, classic Kubrick. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Michael V At long last Redmond Barry became a gentleman—and that was his tragedy. Barry Lyndon is a 1975 epic historical drama film written, directed, and produced by Stanley Kubrick 🎭 It's ok, but I feel mixed about this one 😉 I'd recommend it if you like this genre, but if not then probably give it a miss 👍🏼👎🏼 This saga is not perfect, but there are moments of brilliance and the story in enticing… An Irish rogue uses his cunning and wit to work his way up the social classes of 18th century England, transforming himself from the humble Redmond Barry into the noble Barry Lyndon.
