Patron Exclusive Review Episode 101
Ryan O’Neal told a different kind of Love Story when he starred as a con artist hustling 18th Century Europeans out of a fortune intended for his sexy cousin in the wry costume drama Barry Lyndon. But does Stanley Kubrick’s insistence on authentic period detail turn a lighthearted novel by William Makepeace Thackeray into a cinematic experience as slow as watching paint dry?
