Review of Barney's Version (2010) by Jack S — 19 Feb 2011
Drama, tragedy, comedy, rather than one genre being predominant, the film focuses equally on all three, and thats part of its brilliance. one of the best films of 2010, featuring some of the most intelligently written comedy in years.
dustin hoffman steals every scene he's in, which is tough to do, because giamatti is so good in this film that its a travesty that he wasnt nominated for an oscar. despite its already long running length, this is a film that would have been even better had it given us 20 more minutes to flesh out a few ideas.
overall, excellent.
