I liked this movie before already, but this video made me truly appreciate just how well made it is. It's almost bizarre in the end. This movie and Sandler's performance are so good, that it actually seems like some cruel joke on Sandler's part. Like, he made just to say "Yeah, I can actually be in nice things. Now, suffer more, as you watch my comedies!"
So glad that it got added to the Criterion!
My fiancé is super skeptical about my appreciation for this film because of Adam Sandler's presence but it really is something special. Paul Thomas Anderson couldn't make a bad movie even if he was half asleep in frog pajamas.
Just dropping by to claim a little credit for Jon Brion, his scoring was absolutely fantastic.
I agree
Thank you. Seems odd to talk about this film and not mention his name. Jon Brion is awesome.
Kudos. This was a great analysis. I just watched this movie for the first time, and I'm curious. I didn't see Barry only as an angry man with social anxiety. I actually viewed him as being on the autism spectrum and thought all the bursts of color, light, and sounds were meant to allow us to see the world around Barry in the way HE experiences it. I even thought the picky from his sisters and their cacophony of noise at the party was over the top so we could see how Barry felt it through enhanced sensory issues.
Things like repressed anger, anxiety, being called "gay" or taunted disrespected by people/family, seeing colors, being awkward about sex/intimacy, being naïve about giving out personal information, being fearful of loud noises, strangers, and uncomfortable experiences, having a clumsy, unsteady walk/gait, longing for intimacy, having self issues and symptoms of depression, crying awkwardly/quickly and leaving a neurotypical person unaware of how to deal with it, being a loner, being meticulous and precise, dressing in a way that doesn't seem the social norm, fixating on things (like the pudding and flyer miles), even the harmonium itself (because often people on the spectrum have this 'connection' or natural rhythm with sound/music....ALL of that seems textbook autism spectrum (old school Asperger's). Am I the only one who saw it that way?
I love your analysis. This hits home because my son deals with sensory processing disorder.
Growing up in an abusive home, I related allot to the film as a kid.
If you want a great representation of what it’s like to have Aspergers I always highly recommend this film, easily one of my favourites and Sandler is amazing in it.
It's the best depiction I've seen on film yet.
Something I noticed in theaters... when he punches a hole in his office wall through the map, the blood on his knuckles very clearly spells "LOVE".
Punch Drunk Love
Meyerowitz Stories
Uncut Gems
Funny People
I had no clue this movie technically a comedy. I always just think of it as the one serious Adam Sandler role.
I'm glad you chose this film to make a video about, it's one of my favorite movies and I learnt a few things I didn't catch the first time such as background details.
If I’m not mistaken, Barry wears the same colour tie he saw Lena’s dress last. Like if Lena wears a purple dress, the next day Barry wears a purple tie.
We have a new Adam Sandler classic: The Meyerowitz Stories
And now Uncut Gems

Awesome, Leon!!! So masterfully said!!
I believe this theory that Adam Sandler character is some sort of type of Superman
So underrated!!!!!
I watched the movie after watching this overview. just loved the film and wanted to thank you dude
it's the best film, the most special film in my life.
Such an amazing film
Underrated film. Good video. I love this movie. Thank you.
I couldn't tell you what it is, but you are on a roll these past few weeks! Love, love, loved, this episode ( Pun not intended :) )
One of my favorite youtubers reviewing one of my favorite movies. A match made in heaven :)
I dig the Superman theory, it has legs, it has value, it's not bad.
I had the same reaction after seeing MAGNOLIA...I read that P.T. Anderson was going to do a romantic comedy with Adam Sandler...I thought, No Way! After seeing it when it came out it was unbelievable, to me, how great of a film this is. More people need to see this work of cinematic art. Paul Thomas Anderson is the greatest living director of our time!
I would love to hear your analysis on the scene in the beginning with the piano. Right before it was dropped off, Barry saw the delivery van crash and flip violently in the peace of the morning, only to then see it simply drop the package off. Also, I think Dean backed down to Barry cause he realized that the man was crazy as hell, because he drove 500 miles with the phone in his hand still!! Lol Ive never laughed so hard at a comedy with no blatant jokes
Yeah I heard a theory that Lena is stalking Barry, thus the woman in the grocery store, and maybe that's happening but I think its ok to just look at the film as symbolic and not literal...
Anons. Think connections. Think directors, actors and body of work. PTAnderson - O Stone - S Kubrick - D Fincher - Think Symbolism
There are films I love, films I admire, but Punch Drunk Love is a film I adore.
I was sad to see that you left out the light that comes on in the phone booth when he finally reaches Lena. I also always assumed that (because of the presence of warped stimuli, unsuccessful social interactions, and violent fits of anger) that Barry suffered from Asperger's Syndrome. I guess you might consider this a fringe theory? But it wasn't ever a theory in my experience...I just assumed it.
Top five favorite films of all time.
Have you guys noticed the pool of colour wheel in the last shot when Lena kisses Barry, shown through her opened door?
Stunning analysis!
from 7:48 ....
love can make u physically strong, in real life as well ! is my feeling & experience.
Love this movie
I actually just smashed my house last night and got put in the hospital so I can relate very much to Barry.
damn man are you ok
I'm not a big Sandler fan, but this film is amazing.
Renegade Cut do you know the light in the phone booth at Hawaii it a another symbolic meaning.
I've just watched this film when I came out. I didn't understand, or sense any of implications at all. I probably was too young to dig into deep enough huh ... Thanx for the insightful take on this film. This episode got me wanting to watch it again !!
my god you're amazing
Great video! My third favorite film
This is a fantastic analysis.
One of my all-time films. Beautifully done as always, Leon!
Some great insights here! Thanks!
Its a typical Adam Sandler character put in the real world. Its a really good film.
This is an amusingly positive analysis for a couple of reasons. The first, obviously because of its sharp contrast to your Happy Madison marathon. I know you mentioned several times that you were using it to promote a better film, but it's still a sharp contrast. I listened to hours of horrible Sandler, and even watched The Do Over to your commentary...so it's some what stark compared to this. The second is your recent discussion of relationships/sexual relationships in word funk. I don't think you as a cynic. I also don't think of you as someone who puts much stock in romantic messages. I know you specifically said the film posits, but it's still weird to hear you say it's "worth the effort" in such a factual tone. You seem so happily and productively single, it makes the analysis jarring. Still good though, makes me regret having overlooked this film. Can you believe I've now watched The Do Over without seeing Punch Drunk Love? I always enjoy your work, from the educational to the silly.
❤ we all recognize ourselves
From this expressionistic
BARRY. Very romantic movie.
Excellent!
Great video by the way!
These videos are very helpful, have you seen district 9? Could you possibly do a video on it thanks.
Great vídeo dude keep it up
I Wish They Would Make A Punch-Drunk Love Part 2. So Margot Robbie can play Grigor Bailey's Love Interest. PS To Let Y'all Know Grigor Bailey's My Brother.
Hey can you analyze the movie "the Wackness " I would really love to hear your thoughts
The love was great for Barry, but what was in it for Lena? She seemed to serve no purpose except to provide Barry love. I did not get what Lena saw in him that made her want him as a date. I am guessing that was intentional.
My take is that she thought that barry was someone who's happy to have such a big family with 7 sisters and all. Lena is the opposite after all, she has no siblings and tries to emphatise with barry but soon learns that barry is someone who is really vulnerable and hard to open up to people. He slowly open up himself to lena and there's a certain charm to that
The only good film starring Adam Sandler... I love this one so much, it's near-perfect for me. Can't wait to grab the Criterion release.
This comment did not age well.
Great vid. I love the movie.
It still shocks me that one of my top 5 movies stars Adam Sandler
great
I've found this to be a comedy. Its to sad and to true to be a standard romcom. Not that it doesnt have things to laugh about.
Is that backround music from the Cube Escape games?
ur ma guy
L O V E
WTF!!!
i didnt like it
I'm glad to see this film brings people a lot of joy. But films like this do little for me - the symbolism is too fussy, too schematic in design. The shot composition and colour schemes are very Film-School-in-a-box. The film comes alive in moments of well-observed behaviour but when I watch it I just want it to be less self-consciously artsy and let the characters breathe from under the overly mannered fittings. Philip Seymour Hoffman gives a wonderfully sleazy performance that I would have loved to see developed more. The stuff with the sisters is interesting too but is touched on rather than dived into. PTA has become a much better director since this film as his technique has become far less heavy-handed.
my favorite adam sandler film
