Barney Thomson
Description
Barney is a hapless barber, devoid of charm and 'patter' as his fellow barbering brethren mockingly remind him. But his uninteresting life is about to go from 0 to 60 in five seconds, as he enters the grotesque and comically absurd world of the serial killer.

Above all you have Emma Thompson delivering an infernal and hilarious performance that steals the (rotten) heart of the movie. [Full review in Spanish]
April 01, 2016
Thompson steals her scenes and provides many of the comic highlights, while the screenplay gradually becomes detached from reality and loses its emotional grip.
March 11, 2016
It's not entirely successful, but "Barney Thomson" enjoys a great deal of oddity.
March 16, 2016
The movie's relentless grimness renders the characters into caricatures, each more miserably shallow than the last.
March 18, 2016
Uneven dark comedy about a barber and a serial killer.
July 20, 2015
If you grew up south of Gretna Green, bribe a Scot to translate the thick Glaswegian accents in Robert Carlyle's grisly serial killer comedy.
March 04, 2016
You don't have to be a Scot to laugh yourself silly at The Legend of Barney Thomson, although canny viewers will no doubt catch more of the inside references.
March 15, 2016
It's fine, and on occasion it even flirts with looney tune greatness, but mostly it's held back by predictability.
March 04, 2016
Robert Carlyle is excellent as the lugubrious and downtrodden Barney, but as he makes his directorial debut here his rhythm on this deadpan comedy is erratic.
March 12, 2016
Over-the-top and irritating without being funny or clever enough. If only the audience were to have as much fun as the actors seemed to be having.
March 03, 2016
Not as clever as it wants to be, some comic bits stumble and the ending is ridiculous, although Carlyle and Thompson give it their best shot.
March 10, 2016
Scottish actor Robert Carlyle makes a bold impression as a first-time director with Barney Thomson, a brash, dirty little film that's eager to please in devilish ways.
