    A very good film, especially for the acting

    That it is adapted from a lengthy but insightful and entertaining book and that there is a great cast are Barney's Version's main attractions, and for this viewer it did not disappoint. The book is also very vast in scope and is not easy to adapt, the film does a very bold job with the adapting even if due to only being just over 2 hours in length there was a fair bit of truncating. It's not entirely successful, there was a sense that the film did try to cram in a bit too much at first, making the odd part of the first half a tad hasty pace-wise, but on the most part it does succeed and is a very good film on its own terms.

    Barney's Version is very well-made, always attractively photographed with striking locations and the film contains some of the best ageing make-up I've ever seen on film. The soundtrack consists of some interesting and varied songs that match the film well, particularly good was the poignant use of Leonard Cohen's Dance Me to the End of Love. And while the script mayn't be for everyone's tastes(admittedly it does ramble on at times), it certainly worked for me. The dialogue is literate and subtle but also snappy and hilarious, the best lines coming from Hoffman and Pike, while the book understandably does a better job balancing smart comedy, insight into relationships and emotional tragedy the film also balances them successfully with an often poignant second half. The story is not hard to follow at all, is well-paced on the whole and is interestingly and beautifully told, again the comedy and tragedy being well-balanced(the scene with Miriam being handed Barney's wallet with the wedding seating card with her words is incredibly emotional).

    It's solidly directed and while the characters are not likable as such that was not the intention. What's more important is if they're interesting and in Barney's Version they are, Barney while seemingly irredeemable is a compellingly real character that I found myself relating to in the latter stages of the film. Even other characters are seemingly placid on the surface there is a great deal of complexity, particularly Miriam. The acting is superb, especially from a truly outstanding Paul Giamatti in a performance that in his career has only been bettered in Sideways. In support, particularly good are a hilarious Dustin Hoffman and Rosamund Pike who radiates visually(she's rarely looked more beautiful on film, although she is one of the most naturally beautiful living actresses) and gives a performance that is snappy and enchanting. Scott Speedman and Bruce Greenwood do just fine too, and Minnie Driver while with not much screen-time and a caricature character looks like she is enjoying herself, making the most of her humorous lines.

    To conclude, a very good film that is especially so for the acting. 8/10 Bethany Cox

    Excellent acting, but be prepared to hate the main character.

    "Barney's Version" is a strong production with fantastic acting, definitely worth checking out if you enjoy intense character dramas. It's about a guy named "Barney" (Paul Giamatti) who seems to be perpetually unlucky at love--not in a funny romcom way but in a tragic Shakespearean way--although his life is otherwise successful. Adding spice to the story is a subplot about an obsessed detective who is intent on pinning a 20-year-old unsolved murder wrap on Barney's head. Thus the story is part romance, part drama and part murder mystery, and it's done with enough intrigue that it never gets boring even though the film is 2hrs 14mins long.

    My one gripe, as I mentioned in the title, is that our protagonist "Barney" is not really a likeable character. If you truly analyze his behavior, his choices and his actions & with regard to other people, you quickly realize that Barney has absolutely no empathy for others, and even his "love" for women in his life is purely need-based. This threw me for a loop, and it may confuse you as well, especially during the scenes where we're supposed to feel sorry for Barney.

    Barney's unlikeability was deliberate, and Paul Giamatti does a great job of making the character engaging to us, even though if we were to meet someone like this in real life we would probably cross to the other side of the street, even if it were the LA freeway. I haven't read the book, and I'm not sure what the message is, other than an excercise in sympathizing with a person who is himself utterly unsympathetic to anyone else. But it's an interesting and powerful effect, especially when certain things happen toward the end that make this a very sentimental film.

    I took off a few points because the writers used a few schlocky stereotypes to manipulate us into hating certain characters. For example, Barney's rival is a vegan who rambles about animals at dinner, and that's supposed to make us hate him (he doesn't have many other lines in the film). Or similarly, Barney's first wife has an annoying, nasal, Janice-from-Friends voice, and that's supposed to make us hate her and justify Barney's coldness toward her. I thought that was lazy writing. But other than that, most of the characters are interesting enough and well acted.

    I would compare "Barney's Version" to other heavy dramas that feature unlikeable yet pitiable characters who make bad choices, such as "Streetcar Named Desire" (as well as its modern remake "Blue Jasmine") or "Leaving Las Vegas". There's a bit more humor in this film so it's not quite as heavy as the others I mentioned, but it's still a film that will affect you, even if it makes you feel a little bit dirty. Just be prepared to hate the main character and you'll have a good time.

    Loved Barney, all of his Friends, and his wives

    I saw Barney's Version in Toronto. Loved it. Superb performances by all actors. Give yourself a night off, forget about your problems and find out about Barney's problems and his friends problems, and his wive's problems. It will make your life seem better. If you read the book, you most definitely will enjoy the movie. Poor Barney, nothing seems to turn out the way he wanted. He makes two really bad mistakes in his personal life and even though he is successful in business, he is really miserable and doesn't know how to fix it. An unexpected turn of events, and voilà, his worst problem is solved. But in an instant, he messes up again and is suspected of murder. The answer isn't revealed until the very end. I really felt sorry for Barney. The best line of the movie comes out of Minnie Driver on their Honeymoon. The best scene in the movie is a buff Scott Speedman stripping down to his underwear to go snorkeling. Dustin Hoffman is funny as heck. His son is also in the movie and is quite good. Rosamund Pike is enchanting and I see why Barney loved her so much. Barney is played by Paul Giammati and I will picture him as Barney forever. I wanted to give him a hug.

    An imperfect life perfectly told...

    Giamatti has got to be the plainest looking leading man out there; yet, his acting ability transcends his anti-matinée idol physiognomy by a significant amount. And, remembering "Sideways," there is nobody who can play a guy half-in-the-bag nearly as well. HIs facial expressions, comic timing, and the way in which he delivers his lines are just brilliant (and if you think he can only do comic turns, see HBO's "John Adams"). Yet, every scene that he was in with Dustin Hoffman, Hoffman stole! The director (Richard J. Lewis) is able to get everything from this very talented cast, and puts together a movie that never drags, is easy to follow even though it uses the flashback, and is punctuated with several laugh-out-louds.

    Giamatti's character--although a cad in some ways--manages to also be quite endearing, and character development in the whole movie is excellent. We know these people...some of them are in our family, some are friends or perhaps, live next door. To be sure, there is a Jewish aspect to the individuals and story (it's pretty hard to divorce that aspect from anything Richler has written), but all the issues are universal. If Woody Allen had done this movie, there would have been endless navel gazing, and the characters would have been more 2-dimensional (just a mind game I played since the characters and the themes are similar to those that The Woodman deals with).

    At any rate, this is a brilliantly constructed examination of a life that is enjoyable and entertaining; also, a great movie to see and have dinner afterwards so all those who saw it with you could discuss--a lot of meat for that. But, if it's not on a big screen within 30 miles of you, it will play very well on the small screen in a few months; but certainly go out of your way to see it.

    Barneys' Version cuts to the core of man's foibles and strivings

    The movie moved me through it's no holds barred view of Barney's life. We see his imperfections and self-inflicted wounds even as he tries to build a life and family with his true love. Paul Giamatti wonderfully portrays a life though the stages from youthful and idealistic 20's through the difficulties of aging and confronting death. If you want to give yourself a chance to be introspective about your own path and the choices you've made in the various parts of your life you'll find this movie to be very moving. It is a movie that the 50+ crowd will find to be meaningful and honest. There is a lot to dislike about Barney and the way he has hurt others, yet there is a good heart underneath it all (as he yet fulfills the adage of being his own worst enemy). This was a wonderful movie, now I'm looking forward to reading the book and then seeing it again.
