  • Sarah Goldberg has spent most of her acting career on stage, so when her agent called her about a part alongside Bill Hader in his new HBO show Barry she pretty much expected not to get it.

    I absolutely love Barry, but I feel like Bill and Henry get all the praise (which they deserve, as they are excellent!) while Sarah's work goes quietly under-appreciated. I hope more people treat her performance with the respect it deserves because it's an absolute lynchpin of the show.

Ive seen praise all around. Even two years ago when this was posted.

    I love the character of Sally. I can both relate to her striving for her dreams, being a little selfish in putting herself first, and overcoming personal hardships but also hating some parts of the character at the same time - like when she acts a little too selfish (she pushes for Barry to help her with lines but then blows him off when he asks for help with his)...
    That's the type of character that all shows should be striving to create - ones where the audience is like: "ahh shit that's me" and in the next breath be like: "ahh shit, I hate said character" but then after learning more about the character can be like: "I understand/can relate to this situation that has helped make the character the way they are"
    I both kinda hate but absolutely adore Sally and I wnat the best for her but I also kinda wanna punch her - and I love that this character was written in such a way that I would feel this way.

    Seen so much praise for Hader and Winkler for this show (and for a good reason), but Goldberg just nails it on her role. I'd love to see her in more roles in the future. Absolutely phenomenal. And Barry as a show is phenomenal too of course, tiptoeing perfectly on that narrow edge with its tone where it can at any given moment fall into absurdly funny, just absurd or absurdly dark.

  • @BenChanNYC
    @BenChanNYC 4 роки тому +42

    This is a show where we have to see Sally swing from being a mediocre actress to being a good actress, having her defenses up where she's being dishonest or fake as a person and then how she is when she breaks down and she's being honest - and sometimes all in one scene! So kudos to Sarah for being able to pull that off! 🙌

Sally’s other traits are also very layered with an Abused becoming the Abuser angle
