Critically Acclaimed Netflix Film BARRY Available on Netflix Beginning 12/16

The Netflix original film and one of the most talked about critically acclaimed films at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, BARRY, will stream on Netflix beginning December 16th.

Directed by Vikram Gandhi and written by Adam Mansbach the film stars Devon Terrell, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jason Mitchell, Ashley Judd, Jenna Elfman, Ellar Coltrane, Avi Nash and Linus Roache.

Watch the trailer below:

A young Barack Obama, known to his friends as "Barry," arrives in New York City in the fall of 1981 to begin his junior year at Columbia University. In a crime-ridden and racially charged environment, Barry finds himself pulled between various social spheres and struggles to maintain a series of increasingly strained relationships with his Kansas-born mother, his estranged Kenyan father, and his classmates. BARRY is the story of a young man grappling with those same issues that his country, and arguably the world, are still coming to terms with 35 years later.

BARRY stars newcomer Devon Terrell in a deeply felt breakout performance as the young student, and features a strong supporting cast including Ashley Judd (DIVERGENT, DOUBLE JEOPARDY), Jenna Elfman (FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS, BIG STONE GAP), and up-and-comers Anya Taylor-Joy (TTHE WITCH), Jason Mitchell (STRAIGHT OUT OF COMPTON), Ellar Coltraine (BOYHOOD), and Avi Nash (LEARNING TO DRIVE, "Silicon Valley").

BARRY was produced by Black Bear Pictures and Cinetic Media. Dana O'Keefe, Teddy Schwarzman, Ben Stillman, and Vikram Gandhi produced the film. Daniel Steinman executive produced.

A Netflix ORIGINAL AVAILABLE ON DECEMBER 16TH
