Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2015)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Barry Lyndon" (1975) is simply a must see for everyone. Sure, if your favorite movies are "Transformers" franchise, you shouldn't bother with this piece. For all the rest "Barry Lyndon" will be a movie gem.
Everything here works on highest cylinders and creates a deep, rich and unforgettable motion picture. The story and storytelling are amazing. I was captivated from opening scene till the very last end. At running time 180 min. this period costume drama never drags and is involving from start till finish.
The production values are a first rate. Cinematography, costumes, music, acting, directing and script are on the highest level. I will be honest, i just watched "Barry Lyndon" for a first time, and i have to admit it, i enjoyed it more than "Shining" or "Full Metal Jacket" - two very powerful pictures. That's i think because story telling in this movie is flawless. It is done so well, so simple that you are drowned into the story totally - can't remember when last time i was so captivated by a story.
Overall, "Barry Lyndon" is a true classic, and after seeing it i can totally agree. It has everything that a great movie must have. If you somehow didn't see this picture yet, do yourself a favor and do it. Take your time, because this movie is very long, but it is done so well, that time will fly fast watching this gem.
10/10.
