Review of Barry Lyndon (1975) by Richard D — 16 Jul 2016
A slow burn of a 3 hour drama about the rise and fall of Barry.
What makes this story unique are the qualities of Barry. He is not a hero or a villain, he's just a guy with faults. You are not meant to sympathize with him as he makes cowardly moves and cheats his way to success and then squanders it once he gains it. But in the end I think he realizes that he deserves it and that's something you rarely see.
