Reception
A Film Ireland review said of the film, "This character study of a fragmented man searching for connection is certainly well timed for the post COVID era; Barber is an ambitious, accomplished film with a lot to offer". Writing in the Irish Examiner, Declan Burke described it as "nowhere as bleak as the blackest of noirs tend to be, but Fintan Connolly, who also directs, has crafted a thoughtful, nuanced film that goes beyond the genre's conventions to deliver a noir with real heart".
