‘Barney’s Version’ Is a Well Told Tale

Barney’s Version is a comedic drama, based on a very popular and prize winning Canadian novel, by Mordecai Richler. The film stars Paul Giamatti, in a fantastic performance, as a man who has led an interesting life, which we follow through several decades. The film boasts a solid supporting cast as well and manages to be a very entertaining picture throughout, as we see Giamatti’s character deal with the challenges he has faced, mainly involving his multiple marriages. While I could pick more of this film apart, based on what I have heard about the structure of the novel, the fact is that I really enjoyed watching this film, and it is on that merit that I would easily praise what it has to offer.
