This is the Pure Movies review of Barney's Version, directed by Richard J. Lewis and starring Paul Giamatti, Macha Grenon, Paul Gross, Atom Egoyan, Mark Camacho, David Pryde, Paula Jean Hixson and Mark Addy. Barney's Version is exactly what it claims to be, at least as far as the title goes - a highly partial 'version' of a life. What unfolds on-screen (or in the trailer, which gives away almost every plot point) is the self-justification of a maudlin, chauvinistic man who imaginatively recasts himself as both a hero and a victim. The film is billed as a heart-warming comedy, but perhaps this description only applies if one happens to be a male approaching his autumn years.
