Barry Lyndon is a 1975 historical drama film written, directed, and produced by Stanley Kubrick, based on the 1844 novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon by William Makepeace Thackeray. Narrated by Michael Hordern, and starring Ryan O'Neal, Marisa Berenson, Patrick Magee, Leonard Rossiter and Hardy Krüger.

The film recounts the early exploits and later unravelling of an 18th-century Irish rogue and gold digger who marries a rich widow in order to attempt to climb the social ladder and assume her late husband's aristocratic position.

The film's cinematography has been described as ground-breaking. Especially notable are the long double shots, usually ended with a slow backwards zoom, the scenes shot entirely in candlelight, and the settings based on William Hogarth paintings. The exteriors were filmed on location in England, Ireland, and Germany, with the interiors shot mainly in London. The production had problems related to logistics, weather, and politics (Kubrick feared that he might be an IRA hostage target).

Barry Lyndon won four Oscars at the 48th Academy Awards: Best Scoring: Original Song Score and Adaptation or Scoring: Adaptation, Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography. Although some critics took issue with the film's slow pace and restrained emotion, its reputation, like that of many of Kubrick's works, has grown over time, and it is widely considered one of the greatest films of all time. In the 2022 Sight & Sound Greatest Films of All Time poll, Barry Lyndon placed 12th in the directors' poll and 45th in the critics' poll.

Q: After seeing the movie, I felt Ryan O’Neal was miscast in Barry Lyndon — too soft-featured, not convincing as the character. Am I the only one who thinks this?

AI Copilot: The short answer is NO. Many viewers have long felt that Ryan O’Neal was misfit in Barry Lyndon, and your sense that he seems too soft-featured and unconvincing as a hardened social climber is widely shared. Early critics described his performance as the film’s “principal weakness,” calling him “dead and dull as ditchwater” and “as wooden as a plank” in the opening sections. This line of criticism argues that the character demands a sharper, more cunning presence than O’Neal naturally projects, and that his gentleness creates a dissonance with the novel’s roguish protagonist.

But others, most notably Roger Ebert, saw O’Neal’s blankness as a deliberate and effective choice. Ebert wrote that the performance is “underplayed, understated, and exactly right for a man who drifts through life rather than shaping it,” suggesting that Kubrick used O’Neal’s limitations to emphasize Barry’s essential hollowness and the film’s cool emotional distance. The debate has become part of the film’s legacy, and your view sits firmly within one of its most enduring critical conversations.

El reparto de la película es uno de los puntos en los que algunos aficionados y críticos coinciden en señalar como no ser el más idóneo. Lo cierto es que la elección de O'Neal para interpretar al protagonista puede no gustar a algunos, principalmente por la escasa expresividad del actor, pero el director buscaba un actor no excesivamente carismático que pasara bien por lo que el personaje es, un vividor con escasas virtudes morales. Del resto del reparto destaca el trabajo de Berenson, que da vida a Lady Lyndon, la condesa a la que Barry seduce y de la que obtiene su noble apellido. El resto realiza una buena labor. A pesar de las críticas, es la película por la que se considera el mejor trabajo de ambos protagonistas.​
