A note from Barry
I've always believed the best part of a movie isn't the ending—it's the discussion afterwards.
Every week I read theories that are completely different from my own, and that's my favourite part of running This Is Barry.
If you have your own interpretation—or you're simply curious to see how others understood the movie, I'd love to have you join the conversation.
