Showed this to my mom today. She thinks 2001: A Space Odyssey is the most boring film of all time, she walked out of A Clockwork Orange and she never ceases to complain about every aspect in Dr. Strangelove.....

And yet, she was utterly entranced for every second of Barry Lyndon, laughing and crying along with the ravishing imagery and the remarkable storytelling.

Ladies and gentlemen, there's a Stanley Kubrick film for everyone.

Long movies scare me. Period pieces scare me. They are both things that I historically (haha get it because period piece) have not exactly found EASY to watch. They’re usually GREAT, but impatient people like myself have a hard time getting the energy to watch things like that. But I gotta say, despite that, I loved every second of Barry Lyndon.

letterboxd seems to be malfunctioning... i can't seem to be able to give this masterpiece more than 5 stars... wack

Anyone who rips on this beautiful masterpiece should be challenged to a duel.

I maintain now and always that this is one of the great comedies, a slow burn of greed, cowardice and arrogance that depicts an aristocratic structure that creates arbitrary divisions among European nations united in the absurdity of their power hierarchies. The film suggests that the entire aristocracy of Europe is maintained by interbred families and brazen confidence tricks perpetuated by both pretenders and genuine members of the ruling class. Watching this, it's a wonder how WWI took as long as it did to break out. That it is one of the most rapturously photographed films ever made is almost a mere bonus.

Did not really enjoy this.

Every Stanley Kubrick film I stare in awe that someone made this. A man. And here I am again. Thinking that.

2016 - Funnier than you think it's going to be.

the picture of this movie is beautiful

THE BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE. PERIOD.

Good movie not really my kind of movie but still good

I watched it again. 

This time I was almost sympathetic for Redmond

As countless others have already noted, this is indubitably Kubrick’s most beautiful film. I’m not exaggerating when I say it is one of the most gorgeous pictures I’ve ever seen. Simply stunning. There’s a lot to take in here, and I don’t feel qualified to speak of it at great length as I still have much to process. To me it seems a cross between a picaresque adventure, an examination of class and social mobility, and, ultimately, a quiet tragedy. It is also, perhaps, Kubrick’s most distant and stately film, which I suppose is fitting given the story and style. Will revisit this one day.
