Really Liked It

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 1998)

This film is filled with the most beautiful images which all look like the contemporary paintings we know. One after another.
It is an entertaining and accurate glimpse into the eighteenth century world of William Thackeray's imagination.
Some people have criticised the film for being too slow, but I think that it is not too slow, but that it reflects accurately the pace at which life moved in those days. A letter takes a couple of months to be delivered. A plus in my view.
Some people question the choice of Ryan O'Niel as 'Barry". I think that at that time Ryan though not the same, was not bad casting.
I think Stanley Kubrick's film will be around for a long time and recognised for the work of genius it is. *10*
