Graham F @RT79877822 02/20/2025 I thought it was fantastic. Very funny and realistic despite being 'theatrical'. The way the characters spoke to each other was very real whilst the acting was unreal if that makes any sense. I found it scarily depressing in some points: Charlie for example particularly the scene with Barney and his mother at the building-site bonfire where cruelly told him his whole life was basically a lie was. Winstone's 'sole-Englishman' role was brilliant. Was also good seeing day-to-day Glasgow locations looking other-wordly See more Wolfgang G @RT51462348 01/04/2023 Die Legende von Barney Thomson ist eine britische schwarze Komödie von Robert Carlyle, der außerdem die Hauptrolle übernahm. Der Film basiert nach einem Roman von Douglas Lindsay. Wer den englischen Humor liebt, ist bei „Die Legende von Barney Thomson" auf den richtigen Weg… Robert Carlyle inszenierte eine herrliche Komödie, mit deftigen „schwarzen" Einschüben. Emma Thompson ist einfach hervorragend und überlegen als Cemolina, ja Emma Thompson stiehlt allen die Show!

I love british wit and watching RC try to lie to the police is a lovely comic relief, and Emma Thompson as his brash, crude mother is hilarious. Highly recommend!

Carlyle is a master of subtle humor that is sincere in the right places & avoids clichéd sentimentality we see in the usual Hollywood shite. See more Read all reviews
