This romantic period piece has scope and beauty in every frame. The film is slow paced and clocks in at three hours, but it does flow smoothly through it's scenes. Kubrick's most patient and artful endeavor behind the camera. |

Not many people rank this film among Kubrick's greatest, but it is masterfully directed and an intriguing portrait of a protagonist who is sometimes an anti-hero. Beautiful cinematography, among some of Kubrick's most interestingly-framed shots. |

Calling this movie pointless is kinda stupid. It's long, but you enjoy every frame of it. One of the most beautiful movies ever made, that's for sure. Great, gripping story about a young man who wants to become someone. Even if it means being ruthless. Stunning. |

Underrated masterpiece from the craftman Stanley. The wide shots reminded me to Kurosawa's Ran. Great acting, specialyl from Ryan O'Neal, because I think he's actually a bad actor, but when you're well directed then you can make things happend. A must see. |

Barry Lyndon review |
|
One has to appreciate the beauty of the locations, cinematography, historical methods of its era (1700's manner of punishment, weapons used in war, duels, manner of speaking, etc.), period films and Redmond Barry's (Ryan O'Neal) journey/story before investing 3 hours on this. Not as entertaining as The Shining, 2001 or Full Metal Jacket, but definitely influential. It starts with the first Act wherein Redmond falls in love with his cousin Roma. He then performs a duel with English Captain John Quin (Leonard Rossiter), was robbed, employed by Captain Potzdorf's uncle in the Prussian Ministry of Police and marries Countess of Lyndon (Marisa Berenson). The second act is about the misfortunes and disasters of Barry Lyndon. It would affect his family fortune, duel with Lord Bullingdon (Leo... |

Not as fun as shining, but it is drama |
|
I remeber when i saw this film for first time i enjoyed its beautiful pictures, more comic than dramatic atmosphere of first part and greatly shot battles. Ending did not really touched me. Next time when i saw it it had whole new dimension. It was great. Drama went to new level. I was thinking if Griffith and Welles have taken cinema to new level than Kubrick took cinema on 10 new levels, because this good drama wasnt made after it.
What is so great about drama in this film? Drama in this movie is so great because it is not Shakespeare, characters are much less dramatic, they are real people not some dramatized heroes who seem to be greater than life, they are rotting flesh and bones who look for their happines in the times that were harder to live in than ours, especially for poor. War... |
