Critics Consensus

A bizarrely memorable sci-fi/comedy hybrid, Fried Barry may be an acquired taste, but it certainly isn't chicken.

Cody Corrall

Chicago Reader

Kruger's debut feature is not for those looking for a calm and cohesive experience, but if a manic and disgusting joyride is more what you're after, Fried Barry is for you.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

Largely indescribable, not for the faint of heart, and for fans only...but there are really interesting moments in it.

Empire Magazine

Cheap and not so cheerful, Fried Barry might be episodic in the extreme but it has spurts of brilliance, imagination and a real sense of risk taking. Dirty, lurid fun.

Rated: 3/5

The greatest and most unexpected pleasure of Fried Barry is the pure vein of sweetness that pulses beneath the surface.

If you like your films depraved, sick and greasy, you'll love 'Fried Barry!' And luckily, I like my films depraved, sick, and greasy.

This is one of the most unusual alien visitation films you'll ever watch. Especially if you don't give any thought to why the other-worldly presence was careless enough to pick Barry for its stopover on Earth.

Rated: 3.5/5

More like Deep Fried Barry, it's somewhere between Bad Boy Bubby and Titane. Terrific!

A little unconventional, and the start may feel a little weird, but as the movie progresses, you get a better gist of what is happening and the crazy ride that the central character goes through.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I absolutely loved it. It was random and in every direction. It was like what would happen if ET possessed a crack head in the worst side of town. It really kept me guessing what was real and what wasn't.
