      This is a story of identity, and the lack of it. And it’s fascinating.

      Between the vast exteriors and candlelit interiors, the expressive authority of Kubrick’s direction is breathtaking.

      Barry Lyndon is a rich cinematic experience which fully deserves to once more be seen on the big screen and enjoy its status as one of Stanley Kubrick’s greatest achievements.

      Barry Lyndon is an intimate epic of utter lucidity and command.

      Entertainment Weekly

      To watch Ryan O’Neal’s performance as the upwardly mobile Barry, part victim and part cad, is to see Kubrick’s perverse genius with actors. He cast a dullard only to jolt us, by the end, with the revelation of the bastard within.

      It’s a movie that actually makes the past look otherworldly, unlike many period pieces, which strive to make history seem easy to slip into.

      Barry Lyndon is another fascinating challenge from one of our most remarkable, independent-minded directors.

      Barry Lyndon is a costume epic that pokes fun of other costume epics even as it outdoes them.
