I had a lot of fun with Barbarian. I had no idea this movie existed until I saw it pop up in my feeds this morning. The premise sounded interesting. It got stuck in my head, so I ducked out of work early and caught an afternoon screening. I’m glad I saw it early and knowing nothing. I really enjoyed it!
It was interesting how information was doled out by character and gaps were filled in. It held my attention and I even enjoyed the last half when things go off the rails.
