Barry Lyndon | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Audience Reviews

Andrew M When a film absent of dialogue shows two people fall in love, it is a perfect work of art. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Aaron P Barry lyndon is a film with an overly large length and too much filler... is what i have heard far to often this film is kubricks second best beaten only by 2001. my main reason for the love is the due to the gourgious cinematogrophy the simatry in this film is beautiful. another reason i love the film is the score which is elegant yet brash matching the main charector.while the acting leaves much to be desired but as i watched the film i viewed it as more a play. as the sets were all simple the violence was often exaderated etc.the ending of the film (the final duel i mean) is amazing as throughout the film we see bary violently repermand bullingdon. however despite him having an opertunity to fire on him he doesn't instead firing in the ground, which to me implied that he had respect for bullingdon trying to raise him to be stronger. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Kevin L This is not even close to Kubrick's best movies. The friggin' flute & other prancy music in the background is distracting if not outright annoying. Now I know why I skipped this one for so long. O'Neal's acting is often just plain bad. Gimme Paths of Glory, Spartacus, Dr. Strangelove, 2001, and Clockwork over this pompous, bombastic bore. 2.6 stars Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Total Snoozefest! I saw this upon initial release as Kubrick had made "A Clockwork Orange" two years earlier. Most of the sparse audience in a rather large urban theatre walked out by halfway through. I would have, too, but I brought a date. She probably hated it, too. Ryan O'Neal stinks up everything he's in. I guess being a bad actor "...means never having to say you're sorry!" I don't give a rodent's posterior about the great lighting and camerawork; if you can't put an engaging story on the screen it's nothing but an ego trip, and Kubrick was known for those eg: 2001, Eyes Wide Shut, and THIS turkey. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Shaun B The great kubricks masterpiece.Superb cinema photography.The slow pace of the narrative gives you the opportunity to relish every frame,which is like gazing at a painting.Its like stepping out of a time machine.I watched it three times at the Warner cinema at Leicester Square,when it was first released.Perfect in spite of the puzzling casting of Marisa Berenson as Lady Lyndon.I love every second of it,and it rewards repeat viewing.The greatest movie ever.
