Rating: 3/4 -- Plummer's Barrymore shows flashes of glory as he delivers bits and pieces of various Shakespearean roles. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Erik Canuel, who directed and adapted the work, employs a host of cinematic techniques to enhance Plummer's spell-binding turn as a crotchety has-been who, in 1942, attempts to revive his career by playing Richard III. Full Review

Whatever form BARRYMORE takes, it is a showcase for Plummer's uncommon range....[It's] an exceptional performance piece.

Rating: 3/4 -- You wish you could be seeing this performance live, as it's meant to be seen - but lacking that, "Barrymore" on the big screen provides its own thrills.

Rating: B -- Plummer is marvelous, flitting between reminiscence and Shakespearean recitation as a gifted artist aware of his own wretchedness. Full Review

Rating: 7/10 -- Plummer is phenomenal, but be warned: you really have to like one-person shows in order to enjoy this 84-minute tour de force. Full Review
