MovieJustice (Dan DeVore)
Overall, the movie took 300 days to produce scattered from 1973 until 1975 with a huge budget of $11 million, but the finished product was well worth it. Barry Lyndon deservingly won academy awards for best set-direction, best costume, best music, and...read the complete Barry Lyndon (1975) review at MovieJustice (Dan DeVore)

Maybe the only abstract maxim that one can derive from Kubrick's new film is: 'Openness is everything.'...read the complete Barry Lyndon (1975) review at New York Times (John Hofsess)

One interesting aspect of this film, is the way in which the story, of Redmond Barry, is told, through narration, and film visualiztion, as presented by Kubrick. The character, Barry, not a likable person, and one of Ryan O'Neal's best performances, does ...

I have not seen BL since it came out, at which time I watched it in the theater at least ten times. I was appalled, thrilled, baffled and fascinated. I remember it as the most realistic movie I've ever seen, and not most of all in the sense of its ...

Stanley Kubrick, was perhaps, our greatest film maker. And 'Barry Lyndon', was one of his greatest efforts. Not too well received, by critics or fans, it is perhaps my favorite Kubrick film. Meticulous, slow-moving, every frame could be freeze-framed and ...

Some movies - I wish there were more of them - simply look like a series of great paintings. This film has that look. You could freeze-frame many of the scenes and swear you were looking at a Gainsborough, a Vermeer, a Hogarth or similar work of art by ...
I am going to get Blu-Ray soon and I do not want to recreate my collection. but I want my favorites on Blu-Ray. Since this is supremely underrated Warner Bros. is not interested in releasing it. The available DVDs have crappy transfers and bad sound. I ...

I'm aware of the many criticisms leveled against this film, but I consider it to be one of Kubrick's finest, and it's one of my all-time favorite movies. Perhaps more than in any of his other films, he makes effective use of a seemingly endless stream ...
by Peter Hoogenboom ... on January 08, 2009
This is the picareque tale of Barry Lyndon set in Eighteenth century Europe. Filled with Kubrick trademarks - stunning imagery, superb use of music, meticulous attention to detail - and it all works brilliantly. Indeed this may well be Kubrick's greatest ...
