Leave your thoughts about Barney's Version.
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinNobody does grumpy better than Paul Giamatti. And to be fair, how could they? The guy looks like the result of a steamy affair between Tim Curry and an onion. |
| Richard Roeper.comRichard RoeperA master acting class, courtesy of Paul Giamatti and Dustin Hoffman. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarPaul Giamatti can do spunky (Cinderella Man) and stately (John Adams), but he's at his best turning potentially loathsome men into sympathetic characters that command your attention. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsBarney's Version has episodes instead of plot, outbursts instead of wit and alibis instead of growth. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeWhat we end up with is an unreliable account of the life of a man whose appeal remains enigmatic, even when the blanks are filled in. It makes for a very satisfying film. |
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottThat character flaw makes for some great shock-fueled laughs in Lewis' film -- Giamatti does full-on comic rage as well as anyone. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasDirector Richard J. Lewis seems at ease with the sprawling, shambling shape of "Barney's Version," which digresses and meanders and then, suddenly, pulling sharply into focus. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersInstead of getting inside this man who's forever at war with his own best interests, the film merely observes him, letting Giamatti do all the heavy lifting. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsIt's got a starry, up-for-it cast and an epic, decade-spanning storyline. Crucially, it's also worthy but a bit dull. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanOne of the key flaws in the film: Barney is not likeable or admirable, or charismatic or charming or clever at anything |
