Reviews
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Barry emerges as an involving and credible portrait of a smart young man with a good deal of growing and learning yet to do.
|
|
Variety -
You could almost watch Barry even if you’d never heard of Barack Obama: The movie is simply interested in what it looks like when a guy who’s got this much going for him has a piece missing.
|
|
The Guardian -
The movie is rich on its own as a character piece about the difficulties of being bi-racial, especially at the very specific location of Columbia University.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
In some ways, Barry the film takes its personality from Barry himself. Always pleasant and companionable but a little pro forma in its early going, it gains in texture and interest as Obama's life and his reaction to it get more complex.
|
|
The Playlist -
There’s something widely relatable about the way Barry tries to find somewhere to fit in, and preferably in a place where he can be himself and not somebody else’s symbol.
