Downtrodden writer Henry and distressed goddess Wanda aren't exactly husband and wife: they're wedded to their bar stools. But, they like each other's company—and Barfly captures their giddy, gin-soaked attempts to make a go of life on the skids.

Barfly Ratings & Reviews

  • Randy LoweFebruary 4, 2025
    i think this film is maybe more interesting, or strangely fascinating, than simply 'good.' And having prior knowledge of Bukowski and his writing is a huge plus.
