Barney's Version
Crit
A sad story of unrequited, then requited, then unrequited love, as Barney can never give up on his soulmate even though at first he's married to someone else and at the last she is, while he's slouching toward dementia. In between, though, he has her--and, naturally, takes her for granted, being a self-absorbed 5-year-old at bottom. Oh, and in case that's not sufficient plot for you, he's also suspected of murdering his best friend after finding him in bed with his second wife.Paul Giamatti makes us care about the mostly unlikable Barney, and Rosamund Pike makes us understand the unwavering conviction of his love.
Trailers
- Incendies--Brother and sister learn at the reading of their mother's will that they have another brother and their father is alive, and they're ordered to search for them. Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin looks like a Middle Eastern Frances McDormand.
- In a Better World--A Danish film about violence and family, I guess.
