"Barry Lyndon" (1975) is simply a must see for everyone. Sure, if your favorite movies are "Transformers" franchise, you shouldn't bother with this piece. For all the rest "Barry Lyndon" will be a movie gem.Everything here works on highest cylinders and creates a deep, rich and unforgettable motion picture. The story and storytelling are amazing. I was captivated from opening scene till the very last end. At running time 180 min. this period costume drama never drags and is involving from start till finish. The production values are a first rate. Cinematography, costumes, music, acting, directing and script are on the highest level. I will be honest, i just watched "Barry Lyndon" for a first time, and i have to admit it, i enjoyed it more than "Shining" or "Full Metal Jacket" - two very powerful pictures. That's i think because storytelling in this movie is flawless. 10/10. See more R T @crillovision Jul 2 There was a time when Kubrick managed to somewhat entertain me but as his career progressed he became so obsessed with detail and framing and lighting and lengthy lengthy views of everything that the films became like taffy that could be pulled and pulled and pulled. This one is the absolute proof of that too. The final scene where the title guy is writing out a message very very very slowly pretty much sums up the movie you just sat through. He continues writing while we hear the words and it still goes on and on. The plus side is that it is a truly beautiful creation - the ducks in the meadow look perfect, the horses are stunning, the costumes undoubtedly authentic somewhat. The acting overall is passable but the leads are flatter than flapjacks and the beating a dead horse syndrome never leaves the building. The film does not seem to care if you remember the story line or be concerned with that. It is lovely to look at but a real ordeal. I set a record for yawns at the cinema. See more Read all reviews
