Barney's Version (2011) Trailer
The movie is so intent on wallowing along in Barney's misery that it bypasses the only chapter of his life in which he might have been content, if not happy, with a photographic montage--watching as his kids grow up and ending with a smiling family portrait. Ultimately, even those kids can't muster any positive feeling for the old man--one hates him, the other can only pity his lonely state. It is a story full of drunken encounters and long drags on countless cigars, told by a bitter man, signifying despair.
