Entertainment Reviews:
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.

Christopher Plummer works hard to give us his idea of John Barrymore in this record of a theatrical tour-de-force, which is more dramatically florid than biographically enlightening.

Think of it as one great performer saluting another.

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

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

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.
Seattle Times
Rating: 4/5 --
As an acting masterclass, it's educational and entertaining.
