Kubrick at the height of his powers.

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2004)

Some people don't like this film. Some people think Carrot Top is funny. What're you gonna do? Barry Lyndon is a flawless movie. It has a perfect story-arc (focusing on Redmond Barry), perfect direction, and the best photography I've ever seen. Kubrick recreates the era so authentically that the viewer is immediately drawn into the narrative. The cast performs admirably (it is the best work Ryan O'Neal will ever do), and the film's length only adds to the richness.
