Barney Panofsky, a mufurc filmproducer csapongó élete során talán több nőt fogyasztott el, mint szivart, nem mintha botrányos apjától különb nevelést kapott volna, és mire két balul elsült házassága után végre megtalálja a tökéletes nőt, már nem biztos, hogy képes mellette kitartani. Vagy meg tud változni egy káros szenvedélyekkel teli, lobbanékony és konok fickó, ha megérinti az igaz szerelem? (SPI és Corner Film)

Paul Giamatti once again fully showcased his acting talent and did a great job playing the character of Barney, who has a bit of trouble with women, himself, and life. The film constantly balances on the edge between comedy and drama and manages to remain consistently convincing and powerful, delivering a hit at the end.

Since the days of Jim Carrey's films, Paul Giamatti has grown into a distinctive comedian whose films are not for everyone. But if you give it a chance, you'll encounter a deeply human story in the "life as it is" genre, with supporting roles graced by the talents of Rosamund Pike and Dustin Hoffman. And that's more than enough.

Films that try to capture human life often fail to grasp and convey that which is essential, record life milestones, and capture the fateful decisions, successes, and failures of their protagonist. I think Barney's Version succeeded wonderfully thanks to the quality screenplay and above all Paul Giamatti, who managed to embody conviction and humanity in Barney. He evokes understanding where others would provoke outrage, he can move you without cheap sentiment and can make you laugh, and you tend to believe in his passion, naivety, pain, and uncertainty. It is my repeated encounter with Giamatti's character acting when I approvingly give a thumbs up. The film follows the romantic struggles of a man who has had three marriages, and two divorces, and briefly tried out the role of a widower. Amidst all the tumultuous events in his life, he is accompanied by a desire for a fateful great love and finding the ideal partner for a lifetime. The viewer meets Barney during his bohemian period and follows him to a bitter end filled with illness and loneliness. Nevertheless, it is ultimately a positive, optimistic work, which I give an overall impression of 85%.

A Jewish comedy full of Jewish themes, Jewish practices, and and different Jewish jokes from those that we, as non-Jews, are used to. It’s teeming with Pesachs, Sabbats, and god knows what else, and a number of well-known actors took part in the film. While it is a little incomprehensible to me, this movie will probably have its fans. I am not one of them, though. It was quite boring.
