Anderson orchestrates a comic romance like no other. The effect is intoxicating. Sandler and the movie will knock you for a loop.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

Through this miasma of pain and suffering, love may not flicker more strongly than a dim lamp. But it's the only beacon to consider. Can Barry find his? Thanks to Anderson's assured picture, a symphony of cinematic textures, that disarmingly simple question becomes incredibly compelling.Full Review

Washington Post

Entirely unpredictable and marked by audacious strokes of directorial bravado.Full Review

Todd McCarthy
Variety

I found it exquisite. In part I responded out of sheer amazement: I've never seen anything like the sequences in which Sandler, in his boxy, sea-blue suit, charges around his warehouse to the rhythm of Brion's harsh drums.Full Review

It's a honey of a performance: controlled, achingly human, and funny in the deepest ways.Full Review
