Barney's Version

An unusual, well-acted, booze-soaked, star-filled (Bruce Greenwood, Maury Chaykin, Mark Addy, Paul Gross, Atom Egoyan, and Saul Rubinek), morose, 2010 film, which is told in flashbacks that span more than 40 years, about a volatile, impulsive, alcoholic, Canadian television producer (Paul Giamatti) who sabotages not only his marriages to a suicidal free-spirit (Rachelle Lefevre) in Rome, a bitchy school teacher (Minnie Driver), and a successful Montreal radio interviewer (Rosamund Pike) but also his relationships with his father (Dustin Hoffman), his best friends (Scott Speedman and Thomas Trabacchi), and his adult children (Anna Hopkins and Jake Hoffman).
