Review For Barrymore
Mr. Plummer stumbles beautifully, poignantly and often, leering and searching through a haze of memory or, with concern edged with panic, calling for 'a line, a line' much as Richard III calls for a horse. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Plummer is marvelous, flitting between reminiscence and Shakespearean recitation as a gifted artist aware of his own wretchedness. Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly Plummer's Barrymore shows flashes of glory as he delivers bits and pieces of various Shakespearean roles. Lou Lumenick-New York Post While Plummer acts his heart out, the script becomes one punchline after another. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News It was brilliant as a one-man stage show; it was never a good candidate for film. Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times Mr. Plummer stumbles beautifully, poignantly and often, leering and searching through a haze of memory or, with concern edged with panic, calling for "a line, a line" much as Richard III calls for a horse. Manohla Dargis-New York Times 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. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times As an acting masterclass, it's educational and entertaining. James Croot-Flicks.co.nz 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. David Noh-Film Journal International This isn't a film, it's a recording of canned ham-tasty, certainly, but creaky nonetheless. David Fear-Time Out New York Director Erik Canuel fails to deliver us from the inevitable hermeticism of the material. Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine 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. Jim Schembri-3AW In the hands of an actor of such calibre as Plummer, it is riveting stuff. And often hilarious, risqué, even coarse on occasion Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
