Sinopsis(1)
Barney Panofsky es un hombre aparentemente corriente que tiene una vida extraordinaria: está su primera esposa, Clara, un ser libre, de flagrante infidelidad y roja cabellera con quien Barney vive brevemente en Roma. La segunda Sra. P es una princesa judía riquísima que no hace más que ir de compras y hablar, sin darse cuenta de que Barney no la escucha. En la misma fiesta de esa suntuosa boda, Barney conoce y empieza a perseguir a Miriam, su tercera esposa, la madre de sus dos hijos y el amor de su vida. Con su padre Izzy como compañero de aventuras, Barney nos hace pasar por las muchas subidas y unos cuantos bajones de su larga y colorida vida. No sólo resulta que Barney es un romántico impenitente, sino que además es capaz de actos de galantería furtiva, de generosidad y bondad cuando todos él menos que nadie lo esperamos.

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.

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.

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.

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%.
