The Barbarian Invasions Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Ted Shen
Despite an uneven cast, Arcand finds a tonal balance between sentimental and cynical that keeps the conversations real and heart wrenching.
Variety
Lisa Nesselson
A full-bodied, funny and gloriously unpretentious ode to family, friendship and the meaning of life.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A sharp-witted delight.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Arcand avoids the temptation of turning the story into a tear-jerker.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
If you haven't seen the original, which, if memory serves, was billed as 'The Big Chill with a doctorate,' no worries. Arcand's follow-up stands alone as a universal story of generational reconciliation.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Admirable in its refusal to be politically correct.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A movie that, in the story of one man dying, shows us all how to live.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
As fondly remembered as [The Bill Chill and The Decline of the American Empire] are, Arcand's Barbarian Invasions surpasses them both.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The treatment of the subject isn't maudlin, thanks to a witty script and an enormously likable lead character.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A film about one death that is fully vibrant with both life and love.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
While it would seem like an unlikely candidate for a sequel, The Barbarian Invasions at least revives its talky debates over the things that matter: politics, literature, love, friendship and, of course, sex.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Fun to watch.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Barbarian Invasions is manipulative without apology, and we want it to be.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The Barbarian Invasions flirts with shallow pieties and glib wisdom, but in the end it dives into the deepest part of the pool.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
A savvy look at generation gaps and parental disappointment, and the often-wide chasm that separates pragmatism and ideology.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A film that effortlessly makes you laugh with delight, cringe with pain and weep for life's inevitable end.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[A] masterpiece.
Slate
David Edelstein
Pungently funny and heartfelt.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
French-Canadian director Denys Arcand revisits the aging intellectuals from The Decline of the American Empire -- and they might be interesting, if they'd ever shut up.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
One of the most intelligent and articulate entertainments of the year from any country.
