Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Ruhollah Bsr it's first time for me to write anything about a movie,i mean in IMDb,and i didn't expect to happen for a film with 7.3 point :) this movie claims more thumbs up than this and i want to do something to help the movie to increase auditions. i don't know why ! this 2 hours and 14 minute film makes u think twice,about any step u made and will make... it is a novel by frames and images. it was forgotten in the film basket of mine,but after watch,rise and comes above the list of favourites . a movie full of warmth,love,touching...and finally i must say this movie is a acting heaven. Giamati and Pike make u laugh and cry,sometimes same time.so strange to see the 7.3 point..for this masterpiece.

M MALIK One of the main thing that attracts me towards any film is the cast & story i have seen plenty of autobiographical films and also films like this one Barney's Version is based on a novel but it is the finest film Paul Giamatti ever done.The Cast:when i saw the big names like Rosamund Pike & Minnie Driver listed i was immediately ready to watch as i am a big fan but main highlight is the actor Paul Giamatti he never impressed me he usually does bad moves and mostly comedy but here he goes absolute nuts specially in the climax giving his best performance in extremely serious manner.The dialogs are nicely written there are some comedy moments as the script demanded those i think its best to say its a very over the top silly film but with a great narrative.The only thing bothers is the editing section the runtime could have been trimmed easily many unnecessary scenes look like outtakes with no relation or connection to characters & story in anyway.The Plot:Barney Panofsky is a TV producer he is alcoholic & a heavy smoker he is getting old he looks back at his life all those mistakes & crazy things he has done plus the relationship with all of his 3 wives,kids & his friends.This is a film not for everyone people will complain about it for being boring i handled it because it was something i was looking for once again i would like to mention Minnie Driver here she is excellent & looks even more beautiful then ever i became a fan of her when i saw her in Goldeneye 1995.If you wonder why this film is called barney's version let me clear this up a bit it should have been called barney's vision because of his views on life & how he looks at it but actually its about barney & his versions too the same guy with many different personalities basically the character is confused so when i searched a bit about author Mordecai Richler he wrote the novel of the same name the novel has more depth then the film but this is a faithful adaptation.Overall Barney;s Version 2010 is a film you can watch if you like heavy dialog oriented films this was not released in theaters across Pakistan don;t know why but its definitely worth grabbing it on the DVD Disc my rating is 5/10.Recommended

grantss Great movie. Starts slowly and seemingly haphazardly, but about halfway through it kicks into a higher gear. Ultimately a very profound, moving movie, showing the cycle of adult life, though through a less-conventional life. Filled with great humour and great sensitivity and character depth too.Great, compelling, convincing performance by Paul Giamatti as Barney. I can't imagine anyone else who could have played the part. Reminds me of his performance in American Splendor.Rosemund Pike is superb, gorgeous and elegant as Miriam. Good from Dustin Hoffman (but, then again, what were you expecting from him - a bad performance?). Good to see Minnie Driver again, and she gives a solid performance.

holtintl I saw the movie last night and i got carried away with the acting,story and above all I felt the massage of this film saying "Let the life goes by flow",God had design the destiny of all human being accordingly. Barney got desire and ego to get the girl he liked "its a saying 'To get is easy but to maintain its not that easy' and the question is 'I want to marry that gal' but the answer will be 'Can U Handle It?". Barney tried his luck he got what he wanted but at the end he can't handle it. In this story line what I was not happy the response of Miriam Grant by not forgiving her husband and never give him a second chance,nobody is perfect in this world as he already spoke the truth by saying he was doing without feeling,she should give another chance to him looking at his loyalty for the family in the past,the rest was fantastic story..I like and impressed with this movie.Thank you.
