Showed this to my mom today. She thinks 2001: A Space Odyssey is the most boring film of all time, she walked out of A Clockwork Orange and she never ceases to complain about every aspect in Dr. Strangelove..... And yet, she was utterly entranced for every second of…

One of the most interesting things about Barry Lyndon is that he's boring. He's a bit stupid - but not enough for me to feel sorry for him; he's a bit pompous - but not enough for me to hate him; he's somewhat good-looking - but not enough to inevitably draw the eye; he…

I maintain now and always that this is one of the great comedies, a slow burn of greed, cowardice and arrogance that depicts an aristocratic structure that creates arbitrary divisions among European nations united in the absurdity of their power hierarchies. The film…

Barry Lyndon

A lot of people call this movie overrated. This movie is exquisite to watch; each shot is a postcard. This one marks the end of an era of cinema before big budget flicks dominated the art form. Slow and methodical; a pure character study.

Barry Lyndon

This film is a masterpiece of cinematography and acting. Every frame is beautiful. This is one of Kubriks greatest pieces of art put to the silver screen. 10/10

Barry Lyndon

It may be beautiful. But thats it. Almost 2 hours in, and still felt like I was waiting for something to happen. Did not excite me.

Barry Lyndon

Long? Yes. But the cinematography, to the acting, to the score, to the makeup, I was still wanting more. Kubrick 🔛🔝.

Barry Lyndon

7,5/10 très bon film de SK, assez inhabituelles par rapport aux autres. L'histoire est intéressante et on s'attache assez bien au personnages de barry. Ce film est un belle critique de la stupidité de l'aristocratie de l'époque mais aussi de la guerre avec des très beaux plans

Barry Lyndon

While I found the performances very one note (those dour stares do feel on brand for the time period though) the cinematography is beautiful and I honestly was captivated despite the length, which is all very Kubrick. Not my favourite but glad I took the time to watch it.

Barry Lyndon

7.9/10. Super interesting movie. The shooting, style, and storytelling were really good. Typically not my go to old Victorian movie style but enjoyed a couple duels and enjoy how it goes through Barry’s whole life. Give it a while before a rewatch haha

Barry Lyndon

one of the greatest historical epics of all time, and done with kubrick’s brilliant flair. absolutely stunning visually with monumental performances and incredibly engaging drama, the narrative is essentially flawless. a grandiose work of mastery
